DE UBIETADe Ubieta is a footwear brand based in Barcelona created in 2012 by Sara De Ubieta, current creative director.Sara de Ubieta, was born in Madrid 1982, is an architect and a shoemaker.De Ubieta attempts to redefine the limits of design, generating an artistic discourse that is linked to the object, beyond sheer functionality and comfort. Her designs maintain a balance between artistic fashion and object utility.De Ubieta shoes are high-end products due to their design, manufacture and the high quality of the starting materials employed, ultimately granting each item its own unique personality. All of the products are handmade limited-edition models, a characterizing feature that has accompanied the brand since its inception. De Ubieta does not believe in the democratization of fashion or mass consumption, but rather in judicious acquisition and granting a sensible value to each item.With regard to the idea of responsible consumption, De Ubieta always uses vegetable-cured leathers, which require fewer chemical treatments, and thus significantly reduces environmental contamination. All materials are sourced from Europe with the aim of favoring local and ecological commerce and products are manufactured in Portugal and SpainCOLLABORATIVE PROJECTSDe Ubieta is not limited to footwear design, she is also involved in creating dialogues and collaborations with other artists and artisans. The most representative example is DUOH,a collective created by Sara De Ubieta, Andrea Viêntëc and Maria Garcia Bañales. This interest for revising object design is accompanied by a desire to work with other creative individuals with similar philosophies and generate a collective knowledge.
