Spanish sisters Julieta and Rocio Alvarez joined forces to create a ceramics brand that celebrates originality and fashion. Committed to a pastel color palette, the two sisters use natural materials and artisanal techniques, with a goal to create a community of people who love handmade products. A worthy goal, if nothing else.
Their brand, named after Julieta Alvarez, sells unique jewelry pieces and home decoration across five continents in cities like Paris, Tokyo, New York, Sidney, London, and Helsinki, with their products shown at galleries, stores, and international museums.
With a background in fashion and graphic design, Julieta Alvarez fell in love with ceramics after taking a ceramics course. “I needed a change and I decided to take a course imparted by Resu Labrador, an artisan that had a workshop near home,” she shared in an interview Cup of Couple. “I used to go there full of ideas, and she taught me different techniques to achieve my objectives. Since then, I haven’t stopped!”
“I’m in love with ceramic because is a material that allows almost everything,” she went on to explain. “You can experiment with it, try new things, learn, make jewelry, sculptures or just disconnect from the world and lose track of time.”
