Life's going very fast, isn't it? Changes sometimes occur at the speed of light, and it is inevitable to feel vertigo.
They change the fashion, the habits, the friends and even our city.
We have all been the victims of nostalgia: to look at old photos, to caress our cheeks 10 years ago, to evoke, to revive a past happiness...
And remember Jorge Manrique and the verses to the death of his father.
"Any time spent was better"
The secret is to realize that our future self will think the same of our present self. And start enjoying.
Our pillars, ideas, values and thoughts are constantly shaken, and it is normal, many times it is difficult to find each other in such noise.
Only then are we aware of the need to tread on the mainland and the importance of holding ourselves in the midst of this media tempest.
Sometimes having clear ideas is a challenge.
We should never be unfaithful to ourselves, having very clear – and very present…
What we don't like
What we Like
And what we might get to like.
To know where we are and at what point we want to be.
If you don't know what port you're in, all the winds are bad.
A week ago, I was walking through the streets of Madrid. I entered the immensity of the new malls. The city has changed.
I looked around me, the English cut, Primark, Zara,… Quality has plummeted. A leather jacket, really, is like an endangered animal. And if we keep this up, it'll be a ghost soon.
The day we want to buy clothes that are not synthetic, we will have to start an investigation.
Look on the good side, we'll just need a function of our "synthetic" washers. C'est Fini.
Have we stopped appreciating the delicate thing? Really?
I left behind the huge buildings of marble walls, cold, and I kept walking with my loafers through the stone streets.
I found her, we came back to meet. San Ginés Chocolate Shop. A secret to voices, a little treasure.
I was not surprised by the kilometric tail; People everywhere trying to get in.
Do you want good publicity? It offers a good product.
People create high expectations, high on places like this. But you know what? That make them more fulfilling.
They're little treasures. With the belly full and the moccasins still on the feet, we continue walking through the streets of Madrid.
A glove shop, handmade, with a soul. The story of a family business that had been working for many years, with a great experience in their backpacks, behind their backs.
It's a pleasure. Another little treasure.
And finally, our usual site; Hidden behind the Plaza Mayor, we find the best potatoes in the wild and for having. One more little treasure.
Perhaps it is too much to ask, I know, but in Moccasin workshop we want to be your little treasure, which will accompany you to all others; It may be on Laurel Street in Logroño, in the ALDE Zaharra of Donosti or in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona.
On the other hand, we want to recognize the bond created with the artisan moccasins and the people who create them. On the other, we believe that it is time to strengthen and strengthen that link.
You have to think more of yourself, and me in me, and so with everyone. We should give more importance to ourselves by giving importance to what we eat, to how we dress,… Between tourism, noise, innovation and change, hold on to what makes you unique. Never lose your little treasures.
