The saying goes, there’s a trick to every trade...and whenever I’m confronted by the mysterious ability of art to speak to the soul or the undeniable strength of a well-written poem, I think of this saying. It’s true there truly is a trick to every trade, every tradesmen has something up his or her sleeve that makes his work unique.

I have a friend who seems to have a few tricks to her repertoire and in the process she creates the most beautiful mosaic that I simply had to photograph. Of course I have a few tricks of my own and therefore I’ve paired her mosaic with some items found on a fruitful online shopping session. 

If you’re just as moved by her art as I am you can contact the artist for some unique mosaic pieces of your own:

Mimótica Micola...The science of making all things fancy!

I’ve many times frowned at the phrase ‘I’m at a loss for words’...as someone who always has something to say or a comment to throw into the mix I’ve never really experienced the mysterious ‘I’m speechless’ moment.

I’m a fashion blogger, someone who has a toolbox filled with quirky adjectives and made-up words at the ready to describe any fashionable item you might just toss my way. Yet, I believe the fantastically creative people at Spanish store Mimótica Micola have finally given me the unmentionable pleasure of that first speechless moment... When I first laid my eyes on their beautifully crafted handmade handbags and shoes I was...for lack of a better phrase...at a loss for words!

So I’m allowing the handbags to speak for themselves...something I believe us bloggers should try more often. You’ll find the experience invigorating...drink in the beauty of each picture....and to experience more ‘speechless’ moments visit Mimótica Micola’s website and their

online store

To give you a bit of background, Mimótica Micola was created in 2003 by Racquel Micola, who learnt to sew from her grandmother, a seamstress who specialised in repairing torn bullfighters’ costumes, from whom she inherited an insatiable taste for attention to detail.

Mimótica Micola’s products are handmade using high quality leather from Spain and Italy. You can shop from their beautiful collection online at their easy to use online store or their flagship store located in Barcelona. Also, I’ve got some great news for my South African readers...they ship to South Africa AND their stock is currently on SALE! So, don’t waste any time...do yourself a favour and pamper yourself with a treasure from the Mimótica Micola store. Simply click on the logo below to be transported to a handbag-filled paradise!
