About Bakari

My story

In 2015, Bakari was born, a very personal brand, the result of a childhood passion: creating beautiful things with my own hands. I fell in love with that special process where something that didn't exist comes to life and becomes a part of you.

Hi, my name is Carmen López Serrano and I am the person behind Bakari. I would like to share with you some of the reasons that brought me here.

 

To you, Benita

When I was little, I spent long, happy periods at my maternal grandparents' house, in a small town in Cáceres called Villar del Pedroso. I learned many things there, unaware that all of it would shape my way of living my life. I discovered in my grandmother a personal role model, a source of inspiration from which I wanted to learn and draw every day. Over time, she taught me that what truly matters isn't seen, it's felt. She asked me to fight for my dreams and told me to enjoy them, because along the way I would find happiness.

My grandmother dedicated a large part of her life to embroidery and taught me that passions could stop time. She found refuge in her embroidery, spoke with them, and gave them the most precious thing she had: her time. She was patient; she knew the day would come when I would admire her work with pride, satisfied by the care and dedication of her days. Today, I pick up the baton of that good work and try to imprint that affection on my pieces, that indelible mark that transforms the everyday into something exceptional and unique.

 

About BAKARI

We are what we consume, and together, we can change the world.
