Marroquinería is the ancient Spanish art of leatherwork; a tradition handed down from generation to generation and preserved today by only a few family enterprises.

Using authentic tools and techniques each leather piece is created with meticulous care and attention to detail by craftsmen dedicated to the traditions of their ancestors. From the selection of the raw hide to the creation of each individual stitch, generations of knowledge are invested into each item resulting in maximum quality.

In recognition of this Spanish art and the quality it represents, Azahra was established in 2000, by Romana Illera. Raised in New York, with a taste for European design, this cosmopolitan entrepreneuse is dedicated to bringing you products rooted in tradition, integrity and craftsmanship.

"Our main objectives are the retail of exceptional quality hand-crafted leather pieces at affordable prices, and above all, maximum customer satisfaction. Our luxury leather collections are of the highest quality and in a range of designs from the classic to the modern. Working closely with the Marroquinería families we are proud to be able to offer products that promote a lasting continuation of this exceptional craft."

The name Azahra is a recomposition of the word azahar, which comes from the Arabic word al-azhar. It means white flower with everlasting scent from the orange, lemon and cedar tree that are widely found in the southern part of Spain. Azahar is one of the many Arabic words adopted and utilized in the Spanish language after 800 years of Arabic settlement, from Northern Africa, in Spain.

The Made in Spain label symbolizes traditional production values.

Azahra is based in Hong Kong and has distribution outlets in Madrid and New York.
