ABOUT US
HISTORY
Hi, I'm Aida! A few years ago I started this adventure under the name Inirt Atelier. Inirt was my grandmother's name (Trini <> Inirt). I created it in a moment of mourning for her loss and I wanted to pay tribute to her.
Until one day I felt that I needed to let her go and move forward. So I played with the letters of my last name, Rigual, and Alú came up, and from there ALÚ ALÚ, because there are two of us on board this ship: my mother and I.
THE SEA, MY INSPIRATION
I have always felt a special connection with the sea, my grandfather was a fisherman and my grandmother mended the fishing nets on her boat.
I have studied Marine Sciences and Technologies at university and have discovered species as captivating as nudibranchs, which have become my source of inspiration.
CIRCULARITY
I grew up surrounded by fishing nets. At my grandparents' house they were everywhere and my grandmother reused them to make curtains.
Following their legacy, we reuse the nets discarded by fishermen, to give them a new life.
CRAFT
NO COLLECTIONS
We produce in an artisanal way, creating timeless, continuous pieces.
Unlike the industrial production model, which requires creating new collections every season, craftsmanship is created without a season.
CRUELTY FREE
We work with high quality, cruelty-free fabrics and accessories.
We are committed to changing the stereotype that associates luxury handbags only with leather handbags.
We love noble materials, such as natural bamboo.
OUR SECRET
Our bags have 4 layers of different technical fabrics, such as 3D neoprene, which provides structure from the inside and allows us to work with all types of fabrics, creating volume without rigidity.
We know that small details make the difference, that's why we prefer to sew all the accessories by hand: the magnetic clasp, the rings to attach the chains, etc.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our designs include a small wallet with a zipper closure, made from recycled plastic bottles (RPET).
Our protective cover is made of recycled cotton, made by a national company that carries out its production using ecological processes, which reduce the environmental impact.
