Feners

Founded in 2017, Feners is the commitment of two soulmates driven by the extreme curiosity on how things are made, from the shapes and constructions, to our artisans' life and experiences.Based in Barcelona, Feners is a creative project that explores photography, design, fashion and art through the eyes of the founders, Carla and Adri.

Our Mediterranean soul and spirit is what makes Feners imperfect, unique, rare, organic and artisanal. This nostalgia of how ephemeral life can be.

All of our clothing is currently produced in Spain, in small, family-owned ateliers around and in Barcelona. It is very important for us to control how everything is made from start to finish, and there is a huge culture of high-end clothing manufacturers in the area, that historically come from brands that then went overseas to manufacture many years ago, and have now reinvented themselves into higher levels of garment making.

When the project was born, we spent one year scouting and visiting different factories until we found the right ones. One of the biggest impacts we can have in the industry is by being very responsible on where we manufacture, thus differentiating ourselves from the mass-market brands that manufacture overseas. We only work with Spanish manufacturers that are regulated, keep a safe and clean environment for their team and don't use harmful materials like certain types of chrome, glue, and other chemicals. Legal working schedules are kept strictly and salaries are fair. Long-lasting is at the core of our values and that also stands for our people and partners.

By sourcing local, not only when it comes to the manufacturer but also the raw material suppliers, and other stakeholders and partners, we ensure the minimum carbon footprint is attributed to each product we make and sell. Almost every material comes from suppliers in Spain, Portugal, Italy and some from the rest of Europe. All of them have a direct relationship with us and are audited either by us or by our manufacturer. The travel of those materials to Spain is made by road, not air, also reducing the footprint it generates.

We are very strict when it comes to raw materials and sourcing anything. From organic cotton to plant-based leather and Leather-Working-Group certified leather, we make our path to a less polluted world.
