Maison fondée en 1962

Atelier — Est. Barcelona, 1962

Her coat.
Your winter.

The mink your mother wore on Sundays. Your grandmother's astrakhan, still keeping the scent of her perfume. The pieces we keep for love but never wear. We bring them back to life — cut for the woman you are today, so you can hold her close again, every winter.

La Maison

"A coat is never just a coat. It is a held embrace, a mother's perfume, a grandmother's winter — and the quiet promise of holding her close, one more time."

— Javier Hernández, Maître Pelletier

Javier Hernández, master furrier

A warm welcome

Hand-finished by Javier — or one of our trusted partners.

Trained in Barcelona, in his father's workshop. Recognized by Spain's Ministry of Education as Maestro Artesano Peletero — a distinction held by only a handful of furriers in the country.

Today, alongside a small team of trusted partners, Javier welcomes clients in Barcelona and Madrid — and ships finished pieces to fur lovers across Europe, the Americas and beyond.

For travelers

Barcelona. Madrid. The world.

Many clients come to us from New York, London, Mexico City and Geneva — sometimes during a holiday, often for the express purpose of reviving a beloved coat. The Spanish tradition of hand-finishing fur is centuries old, and the value is hard to find elsewhere.

Heirlooms

Some coats hold the people we've lost.

Your mother's mink. Your grandmother's astrakhan. The piece you brush your hand across each winter and put back on the hanger — because the cut belongs to another era, the size isn't yours, or you're afraid to wear it out. We bring it back to life, tailored for the woman you are now. So you can wear her again — and feel her with you, every time you do.

From mother to daughter

The mink that held you as a child

Recut to your silhouette, relined in fresh silk — light enough to wear from a Manhattan dinner to a winter walk in Central Park.

From grandmother to granddaughter

The astrakhan that kept her perfume

Reimagined as a modern jacket or sleeveless piece. The pelt she chose, the cut you'd actually reach for.

From you, to you

The coat from another chapter

The one you bought on a trip and stopped wearing. We restyle it into something you'll throw on tomorrow with jeans.

"We don't restore a coat. We give back an embrace to the woman who thought she'd lost it."

— Javier Hernández

Avant — Après

"Javier is the best furrier in the world. For years I've trusted him with my coats — I now travel from abroad just to have him design new pieces for me."
Mireille Frehner
"Javier transformed my mother's vintage mink coat into a bolero and a long vest. From one old coat I now have two beautiful, wearable pieces."
Maite Plana
"He is a tailor of fur with a needle of gold. From a long mink coat he made me a short hooded jacket — a true work of art."
