Meet Tissa Fontaneda: Quiet Luxury with Timeless Impact

A celebrated Spanish luxury brand, Tissa Fontaneda is renowned for its commitment to slow fashion, artisan craftsmanship, and understated elegance.

Founded in 2010 by industry veteran Tissa Fontaneda, the brand brings decades of expertise honed at global fashion houses like Loewe, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier. Today, her namesake label is known for its exquisitely crafted handbags and accessories, defined not by loud logos but by quality you can see - and feel.

At the heart of the collection is the instantly recognisable Bubble Bag, which is handcrafted in Spain from velvety-soft Entrefino lambskin using a complex steaming technique developed exclusively by the brand. These signature bubbles aren’t just a design flourish - they’re a mark of authenticity, skill, and emotional connection. As Tissa says, each piece is “shaped by hand, inspired by place.”

However, Tissa Fontaneda is more than just a beautiful design. It’s a brand rooted in values:

  • Slow fashion, not fast trends: New collections are released just twice a year, and unsold stock is never burned or wasted - it’s upcycled into bestselling patchwork bags and accessories.
  • Sustainable sourcing: All leather is obtained ethically from animals primarily bred for sustenance and tanned by a family-run business in northern Spain.
  • Local production, global appeal: Every item is made by artisans in Madrid, preserving European craftsmanship while reducing the brand's carbon footprint.

With a growing international presence and a loyal following of women who value quiet luxury, the brand is now expanding its ready-to-wear line, effortlessly merging tactile elegance with classic designs.

Investing in Tissa Fontaneda means supporting a brand that is redefining luxury from the inside out: ethical, enduring, and emotionally resonant. This is fashion that doesn’t chase attention - it earns it.
