Del mar a la pisada: redes que cuentan historias. Este proyecto nace del deseo de dar una nueva vida a los materiales que el mar ya no necesita. A partir de redes de pesca en desuso, recuperadas directamente de los pescadores de Menorca, creamos calzado con una identidad única, donde tradición y sostenibilidad se fusionan en cada detalle. Cada diseño es una exploración de texturas y contrastes.

Magda Triay is a craftswoman and multidisciplinary artist. Committed to sustainability, she often works with recycled materials. Following her collaboration with pescArt, and aware of the need to reuse fishing nets discarded by the island’s fishermen, she is developing her project XARXES, where she creates artistic tapestries made entirely from nets. Magda is also a painter and workshop facilitator in various disciplines.

Margarita Febrer and Ángeles Barber, the people behind Ànima Complements, make handmade bags by recycling fabrics, leathers from Menorca factories and fishing nets.

Yolanda López Segura – Certified Teacher of the Zentangle Method (meditation through drawing). Yolanda has always had the illusion of taking part in PescArt. She has achieved this with her artisan frames that combine three elements: the Zentangle world, discarded fishing nets and Menorcan motifs. The frames are filled with fishing nets that can be seen through a small transparent window.

Júlia Triay - Julia8783 - is a fashion designer and knitter. She uses fishing nets to make bags and accessories. The world of fashion is one of the most polluting on our planet and Júlia wants to do her bit to change this, working on recycling materials, along with natural materials, and making timeless and quality products.

María del Mar Triay Roselló recovers roots and wood from the sea and the land. She cleans, polishes and waxes them, and then, with the threads extracted from the nets, she makes braids to create original keychains. With the different threads she also makes bracelets and necklaces, decorates bottles and pots with nets and shells.

Ecologina is an ethical fashion brand that has been working for 15 years recovering high-quality fabrics obtained from vintage clothing and surplus Italian luxury brands, which would otherwise be destined for landfill. Since moving to Menorca, she fell in love with Pescart's project and made a colorful raincoat made with rescued umbrellas. The first prototype of different creations that can be ordered, Ecologina can customize her models with colours and small changes to satisfy the client's needs.
