Things to do in Granada, Andalucia: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

After years of experience working on taracea we are able now to manufacture pieces similar to the majestic furniture of the Alhambra. We decorate interior rooms with ornaments in the "mudejar"style, paneling, doors, furniture, etc., using techniques like the taracea, carvings, embossed leather, gilding, polychroming, cast iron and others; techniques accumulated over our years of experience recreating a proper granadian style or even european style.

Munira Mendonca, from California, began working with leather in the 70’s when she arrived to Bubion, a village in southern Spain, in the province of Granada. It was there that she learned and developed a passion for this traditional craft.Now we find her workshop in the lovely old city of Granada where Islamic art pervades. This influence is strong in “Munira” products. Over the years the workshop has become a family business which designs and hand crafts its unique range of leather articles. The actual height of expression has been achieved through the use of ancient embossing and polychrome techniques that survive, at least in Granada, in the hands of the last master, Diego Campos Mariscal. Munira is both proud of and profoundly grateful for his teaching and collaboration. Our study of ancient designs and calligraphies as well as our use of traditional tools situate our items well within the leather tradition of Spain; a rich but dying tradition that spans many hundreds of years.
