Eva
Today I’m kick-starting a new section which will be dedicated to showing people at home. People who for some reason interest me and make me want to take a peak into their personal space…
At the base of Tibidabo mountain, in a ground floor flat she shares with an Italian couple, Eva lives and works in her small, yet delightful universe, and is preparing to soar high.
Tools
Just over a year ago she launched her first collection of shoes, which she designed here, at her desk.
Inspiring wall
Prototypes to play with
Preferring to ‘cut & paste’ bits and pieces from various prototypes to designing with pencil and paper, Eva has surrounded herself with both her inspirational tear-outs and her personal things…

Soaring high
Eva’s universe
… and drawing from her background (she comes from Ubrique, where everyone works with leather) as well as her knowledge and experience as a designer, she creates gorgeous shoes, which are handmade in Elda for her brand EVA VS. MARIA.
Work and play
Sweet girl
Family and friends
A peak into her world…
All in one
Ready to ship
Her first collection was well received, and she is currently selling in Barcelona, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Coruña and Berlin, while more shops from both Spain and overseas are contacting her with requests for orders for the new season.

I’m going to keep an eye on EVA VS. MARIA, for there are some interesting projects in the pipeline, and I think Eva is going to do really well. I hope she will, in any case, for she has enormous potential…
EVA vs. MARIA
Take a seat
Powerful and feminine
… a powerful personality and a very feminine yet gutsy style that makes her designs stand out from all that is available out there.
Nice shoes!
Just check out her shoes, and see if you would disagree with me!

Thanks for your comments, Louise! I couldn’t agree with you more, which is why I loved starting this new segment with this blog post!
Eva vs Maria makes beautiful shoes! An excellent blend of color and form. We have ordered some, and look forward to carrying them in our shoe store.
How exiting to have one of Eva’s clients comment on my blog post! Indeed, her shoes are very beautiful, and I am glad to hear she has a new sales point thanks to you!
I really like posts like this one as it’s lovely to have an insight in artistic and creative people’s lives. Thank you so much for sharing: her shoes look amazing and I like the use of leather as a material as it’s so durable! Have a lovely Sunday night!
I’m very glad you enjoyed that post, Cococita! You have a lovely Sunday evening too!
