We talked to the creator of the last premiere of the year of Letizia: "It was an immense surprise. A great honor"

Queen Letizia (49 years old) closed her schedule for activities and institutional events of this 2021 last Monday, December 20.While Felipe VI (53) travels from Madrid to Galicia in Ave, his wife walked through the streets of San Sebastián to attend his last event of the year.

Once again, the Queen showed that it leaves nothing to chance and that her styles and accessories hide very special messages and winks depending on the events she goes to.On this occasion, to inaugurate the annual meeting of directors of the Cervantes Institute in the capital of Guipúzcoa, Letizia premiered a black bag signed by Mauska.It is a donostiarra brand whose designer is Miren Zubiaguirre.

The Spaniard has contacted the Basque creative to know how they received the news that one of his pieces is already in the queen's royal closet and if the famous 'Letizia effect' has already been noticed in the sales of his bag.

The first, congratulations, because without a doubt that the queen looks a garment or complement of a brand is a great showcase, not only for Spain but for the entire world.How has the news arrived?

It has been an immense surprise, the news came through our Fascom Communication press agency, the journalist Laura Chamorro, a journalist and friend of the Basque newspaper, was called in the event at the event.

Did they know that Letizia had a piece of yours?Did Casa Real or her stylist contacted her for the purchase or acquired it without you knowing?

Yes, we knew that Queen Letizia had acquired a bag, but I feel not being able to give you more information because we always keep the privacy of all our clients.

Did you send you more bags?Do you know if you have more pieces of your brand?

We do not know if you have more pieces, hopefully, we would love.

What does Queen Letizia mean for you to have a mauska bag in her real closet?

For us it is a great honor that her Majesty the Queen has our bag, we admire her a lot as a professional and we love her style.

Why do they believe that the queen opted for this specific bag among all her catalog?

I think it is because the Rosario model is the most formal model of all we have and, as she has many public events, she can definitely fit her with many of her looks.

He has also looked at his visit to Donostia-San Sebastián, an even more important wink for you, right?

That has been even more exciting if possible.

Have you already noticed the impact after the queen wore her bag?

It has been very noticed at all levels, both in social networks and in sales, at the national level but also much internationally.

Despite being a Basque brand, the bags are made on the other end of Spain by Ubrique artisans, why?

Because in Ubrique there are the best artisans, so many known luxury brands worldwide produce their bags there.

What is the story of Miren Zubiaguirre?How did her career begin in fashion?Tell us.

I have not studied design as one would expect, yes, I worked many years in a well -known surf clothing brand and I have always been a very creative person.

Mauska started in Marrakech, but without a specific plan, there I worked countless hours elbow with the artisans of the workshop where we began to make bags and learned more than if I had made a thousand masters.The skin, its touch and the game that gives the different ones that are one and other skins I am passionate.We started our journey because they did not ask us for minimum production, but when we saw that our designs liked and were selling, we decided a few months to step forward and pass the production to Ubrique.

What other famous faces have worn their creations?

Nuria Roca (49), Emma García (48), Adriana Ugarte (36), Dafne Fernández (36), Ana Fernández (32)...

Have you been able to send any bag to Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia?

The truth is that we have not thought about it, but we would love that Queen Letizia would give them one, we have models that can also be very youthful.
