OUR BRANDS
All of our products embody beauty, creativity, art, boldness and style, traits that also define San Sebastián and Barcelona, the hometowns of our two co-founders.
Maeska is home to four brands:
- KCB
- The Bagging Company
- Guspirus by Vanessa Linares
- Privata
We offer different types of handbags, backpacks and wallets through our four brands. Each brand has its own personality: KCB has an urban feel, The Bagging Company a bohemian spirit, Guspirus a touch of fun and innocence, and Privata a casual vibe.
KCB
KCB is known for its modern, urban, functional designs. Our handbags, backpacks and wallets are crafted to accompany women in any situation.
KCB bags feature characteristics such as multiple strap configurations, rear access, convenient compartments and pockets, high-tech materials and anti-theft zippers. The brand offers a wide variety of convertible backpacks, which can transition easily from shoulder bag to backpack.
KCB combines top-quality finishes and innovative materials with a modern and versatile design.
The Bagging Company
The essence of The Bagging Company lies in authenticity, simplicity, and the texture, warmth and richness of the dip-dyed leather we use to craft our products.
The brand features handbags, backpacks, convertible backpacks, cross-body bags, wallets and card holders in leather that we stitch and wash by hand, giving each piece a unique distressed finish.
Guspirus by Vanessa Linares
Maeska’s collaboration with Vanessa Linares is the result of a friendship that grew out of a chance meeting with the artist in early 2019. In this new collection, we’ve combined the practical side of KCB with the fun, nutty world of the guspirus.
Here, the artist tells us about the world she has created through her art:
Guspirus. I am because we are. Yo soy porque nosotros somos. Ni naiz gu garelako.
There is a place called Ubuntu, where the guspirus live in peace and harmony enjoying the colours, music and flavors of Mother Nature. They teach us about a more interconnected world. Ubuntu embodies the ideas of connection, community and mutual caring for all.
‘I am because we are’ is a very common expression used by the guspirus. To them, happiness means nothing unless we are all happy.
The guspirus try to remind us all of this. We are all connected, and it’s up to us to take care of each other.
The name ‘guspirus’ comes from two words that bounced around in Vanessa’s head before emerging in the shape of little animals and splashes of color. The word is a combination of guspira, which means ‘spark’ in Catalán, and suspiro, or ‘sigh’, a word that brings to mind a sense of liberation, of letting things go. Vanessa uses the guspirus to illustrate our emotions, feelings and states of mind.
Privata
Privata is synonymous with pieces that are comfortable, casual, timeless and relaxed. Privata’s bags and backpacks are functional, very wearable, and made with high quality materials.
