About DEMANO

In 1999, Demano began an innovative project in Barcelona that, based on respect for the environment and with an aesthetic consciousness, seeks to give new life and meaning to materials no longer in use generated by the city’s cultural, social, and sporting activity. Thus, an advertising banner, a kitesurfing kite, or a scrap of umbrella fabric become a bag, a backpack, or a coin purse, which begin their journey to tell the everyday story of the city. Making a Demano Barcelona product is an exciting and meticulous process. It involves collecting the material, transporting it to our workshop, and cleaning it. In this way, we prepare our raw material, saying goodbye to its previous life and helping it to be reborn as a new item. Its body will be the result of designing, cutting, and sewing, with the collaboration of small workshops in Barcelona, some of them employing people with disabilities, who handcraft our products one by one with artisanal care. Its soul will forever remain Barcelona, and its future experiences will be given to it by its new owners and their journeys.Read their story
