About Back Couture
Hello, this is me… Ibone, and Back Couture is my small business. A sustainable fashion project with a clear retro inspiration where all the garments are made entirely in small women’s workshops in Spain. I design all the garments of the collections, I work on the concepts behind each one, I do the communication and I make the shipments from my small workshop in Bilbao… I’m a prototype freelancer who does everything.
I am very doubtful, but I have some certainties about the Back Couture project:
- The garments are made by women with their own workshop who freely define the price for their work.
- The garments are made entirely in Spain: the textile sector is gradually disappearing from this country due to the relocation of the big brands. If we do not take care of the small national workshops, giving them work in good conditions, they will disappear in the short-medium term.
- The garments tell stories, so behind each collection there is a theme of inspirational women or references that give meaning to the garments that compose it.
And above all, Back Couture is a community of wonderful and empathetic women who, mainly on Instagram, talk, share things and laugh a lot. You are the ones who drive this project and who, collection after collection, with your support, show me that it is possible to dream of a textile sector that is based on quality and care and not on the exploitation of resources and people.
