About
"Since I was a child, I have lived in sewing.
In the sweet anticipation. In dedicating time to it. In saving up for it. In nurturing (patience, relationships, stories, love). In knowing how to be bored. In stopping, observing, listening, and learning. A rhythm that today seems almost impossible to me, but it's in my DNA.”
Teresa for @yodona
“When I was a child, every day, my mother taught me that the beauty of a great fashion creation lies in what you can't quickly see: the choice of quality fabrics, craftsmanship, and obsession with details.”
“I AM TRULY FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN THE HEART OF BARCELONA AND TO HAVE OUR ATELIER LOCATED IN AN ICONIC MODERNIST BUILDING. BARCELONA IS A CITY OF CONSTANT CONTRASTS THAT NEVER CEASES
TO STIMULATE AND INSPIRE ME.”
At Teresa Helbig, we embrace sustainability and 'slow fashion':
I. We don't accumulate stocks. We work on a made-to-measure and by order basis.
There is never leftover material; everything is reused for new creations.
II. We know the origin of the production of all the fabrics we use in our brand, and when we can't find what excites us the most, we create it ourselves in the atelier with controlled raw materials.
III. We design garments with a very long life; in our 25 years of experience, we have often seen dresses inherited from mothers to daughters, and even from grandmothers to granddaughters because our style is timeless and avoids absurd trends.
IV. We work with local talent. The processes of our garments are carried out by our team located in the Barcelona workshop, as well as expert weavers, embroiderers, artisans, jewelers, florists...

"I have to work very closely with my team of artisans in every step of creating each of my pieces to ensure the quality I seek. My entire team is absolutely irreplaceable, and I don't know how I would do it if they weren't just a few meters away from my design table."
