Our trip to La Bisbal
At Tressé, we think of each suitcase as an experience in itself, allowing you to travel and immerse yourself in a new culture. That's why we partner with artisans to bring handcrafted and handwoven objects and garments to life. For us, it is essential to celebrate their skills and the way they carry them on. We seek to highlight different craft traditions from around the world. This is also the art of living Tressé.
ON THE WAY TO THE BISBAL D'EMPORDA
In pursuit of our inspiration for Spain, our creative team travelled to La Bisbal d'Empordà to meet local artisans and discover their unique skills.
Our itinerary
La Bisbal d'Empordà is a municipality in the province of Girona in Catalonia surrounded by villages we visited: Corçà, Vulpellac, Palau Sator.
LA BISBAL D'EMPORDA
We met with :
Joan, who makes pieces art with a unique La Bisbal technique.
Annick, a ceramist who creates objects around a poetic universe of pastel colours.
Anna and Lluis, with a view to developing our ideas while keeping their techniques and know-how.
VULPELLAC
We then drove to Vulpellac to meet David and Anna, two ceramic artists.
They both work with natural pigments and have developed a special temperature and oxygen technique for firing ceramics.
CORCA
After Vulpellac, we headed for Corça. There we met two sisters, Isabel and Fabiola.
It is a favourite workshop where the inking of ceramics has been represented for generations.
In an effort to upcycle, they use the leftover soil to create candle holders.

A little further along the streets of Corçà, we met Jordi. He creates pieces plain and light-coloured.
SATOR PALACE
To end our stay full of inspiration and crafts,
direction Palau Sator.
There we met Marta, a ceramist who makes plain pieces with various shapes. The ceramics are drying in the sun in the building's garden.
All these craftsmen are certified by the "ceramica La Bisbal" logo.
Discover the know-how of these ceramists exclusively on our e-shop and at Bon Marché.
