My story
A journey woven with love and tradition
I was born in Madrid, but it was during the summers I spent in a small town in Salamanca, at my grandparents' house, where I discovered my true passion.
My grandmother, also called Monica, taught me the first crochet stitches, and since then, the love for crafts has been part of my life.
From Political Science to Artisanal Design
Although life took me down different paths, such as studying Political Science with the hope of understanding the world and travelling a lot (another of my great passions), I always felt that my true vocation was linked to craftsmanship.
It was a career that I enjoyed very much, but, in the end, I never pursued it directly. The idea of dedicating myself to something related to craftsmanship has always been on my mind, and I have finally decided to make my dream come true.
Retro Inspiration and Symmetry
Music has also been a driving force in my life. In my house, bands from the 60s and 70s were always playing, thanks to my father and my brother, who also played the guitar. I admire the design and style of that era full of vibrant colors and geometric patterns .
The simplicity and functionality of the Bauhaus movement have also significantly influenced my approach to design. I love symmetrical shapes and this is reflected in some of my creations.
The name of my brand, MooM Retro Needle, is a reflection of my passion for symmetry: "MooM" is made up of the first two letters of my name, arranged symmetrically.
Besides evoking harmony, it symbolizes the union between two generations: my grandmother and I, sharing this handmade dream.
Inspiration in Nature
When I'm not designing or creating, I love to get lost in nature . Walks in the countryside bring me calm and inspiration, and the sea... I could spend hours just staring at its vastness and letting myself be carried away by its serenity.
Tradition and Modernity in Every Stitch
Every product I make is a fusion of tradition and modernity. In every stitch, stories from the past are intertwined with a contemporary touch.
They are unique pieces, full of nostalgia and elegance , which carry with them the essence of retro design and a passion for craftsmanship.
