  • EXCLUSIVITY

    IXIA's creations are unique pieces.

    Some models are totally exclusive (only you will have this piece!) and others are very limited capsules with few units of each.

    Something that, personally, I feel very special.

  • SOCIAL

    The seed and the engine of the project is my passion for people.

    I collaborate with women at risk of social exclusion for the manufacture of some pieces with the illusion of creating job opportunities and a space for exchange.

    Together we build a creative, pleasant and motivating space.

  • ZERO WASTE

    We work with circular production systems following the zero waste movement.

    We give a new life to fabrics that have been left out of the production cycle, preventing them from becoming waste.

    In this way, we minimize the generation of new waste and the consumption of resources such as the large volume of water used in the production of new fabrics.

  • LOCAL AND ARTISANAL PRODUCTION

    All the pieces are designed and produced in Barcelona, in an artisanal way, with delicacy and taking care of every part of the process.

    We work with local suppliers and throughout the whole process, we have a conscious look, from the design of each piece until it reaches your hands.
