The story behind.
This is me. I’m Carmen, I was born in the north of Spain 30 years ago. I grew up in the nature of Asturias until I moved to Madrid to go to university, and I started there my career as an events organizer.
Even though I loved my job and the creativity that I needed every day, the stress of the big city and the idea of spending my life in an office made me have a little “click” on my head and realize that was not the life I wanted to live.
I wanted to travel and discover different backgrounds, stories and ways of life, so I decided to quite my job and leave my country.
The first stop was the Arctic: chasing the Northern Lights. I moved to Tromsø and since then, my life changed.
I met so many different people with amazing stories and different ways of living, and that motivated me to follow my dreams and look after my dreamed way of life: travel while creating handmade products that I can share with the rest.
Warm Souls handmade is that dream come true. Is my passion of creating handmade things, the travels and vintage vibes, the old maps, and the sensibility of all the souls that I’m connecting with on the way.
The Jackets.
Since I was a little kid I was taught that we have to respect our planet and be responsible about what and how we consume. That’s the reason why all the jackets are vintage & secondhand: there are enough clothes in the world, so we need to give them a second life to the already existing ones.
That’s why every Warm Soul is different than the rest, and combined with the different pieces of map that I sew on them, every jacket is unique.
Each jacket is made personally by me, from the customization by sewing the map, to the labels.
Warm Souls is part of the slow-fashion revolution, where you know who is behind the products you buy, and all the human rights are respected.
As a local and small entrepreneur, every purchase means the world to me.
Welcome to the journey of this little project. And thanks for being.
With all my love,
Carmen
