My story
In 2015, Bakari was born, a very personal brand, the fruit 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.
Hello, my name is Carmen López Serrano, and I'm the person behind Bakari. I'd like to share with you some of the reasons that have brought me here.
To you, Benita
When I was little, I spent long, happy periods at my maternal grandparents' house in a small village in Cáceres called Villar del Pedroso. There I learned many things, without realizing that all of it would shape 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 life, because I would find happiness along the way.
My grandmother dedicated a large part of her life to embroidery and taught me that passions can stop time. She found refuge in her embroidery, talked to it, and gave it the most precious thing she had: her time. She was patient, knowing that the day would come when she would admire her work with pride, satisfied by the care and dedication she poured into it. Today, I carry on that tradition of excellence and try to imbue my pieces with that same care, that indelible mark that transforms the everyday into something exceptional and unique.

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

What We Do for Our Customers
At BAKARI, we offer our customers the opportunity to express their personal style through handbags that tell a story of commitment and craftsmanship. We focus on creating an unforgettable experience, from purchase to daily use. Our handbags not only enhance any look but also allow our customers to feel unique, empowered, and connected to a community that values sustainability, quality, and human connection.
- We Seek Authenticity: In a world saturated with fast fashion, we offer transparency and authenticity at every stage of our production.
- We Are Sustainable: Combining fashion and sustainability is possible with our designs. We work with recycled or easily recyclable materials. We use what others don't want to make our pieces and produce locally. This keeps our environmental impact and carbon footprint low. We care for the planet because we understand that there is no other way. We Offer Exclusivity: Our products are unique, made in limited editions with materials that guarantee the singularity of each piece. We are handcrafted in Spain: All our products are made in Spain. We work with Spanish professionals at all levels: manufacturing, materials, and suppliers. We produce by hand, step by step, paying attention to every detail, making each piece a unique and special object. This delicacy is conveyed with every stitch by the hands of the best artisans, preserving tradition and preventing it from disappearing. This is how we like to do things at Bakari. We Care about Social Impact: With every purchase, our customers contribute to ethical practices and local support. Our factories are subject to European regulations and comply with the highest standards of labor and social responsibility.
- We help others: At Bakari, we firmly believe in the power of opportunity. We are convinced that education and culture are the foundations for progress, development, and freedom for every person. That's why we allocate 3% of our profits to the Coni Association, a Spanish NGO that strives to provide opportunities for children and women in Guatemala.
- We're tired of overproduction: We promote durability and timelessness, offering products that last beyond fleeting trends. We make bags that will be with you for a long time.
