We were walking down Lagasca in Madrid last month when we spotted T.ba. The dresses stopped us first, then the boots, then everything else. Enchanting doesn't quite cover it.

Madrid Fashion 🇪🇸

Since 2011, Mercedes López de Carrizosa and her daughter Sol Prado have been building one of Madrid's most compelling fashion houses.

T.ba makes boots, jackets, and dresses with serious cinematic presence — the kind of pieces that feel both timeless and completely now.

Where to Find It

T.ba sells through boutiques in 22 countries and has its own stores in Madrid and London (Sloane Square and South Molton Street). But plenty of people still haven't heard of them — which is part of the appeal.

The Heritage

Mercedes' family has raised horses in southern Spain since the 13th century. Their estate in Jerez de la Frontera played a role in developing one of Spain's most celebrated horse breeds, and when British wine merchants arrived in the 1800s, they brought their tailoring traditions with them. That collision of English elegance and Spanish soul? It's still the brand's foundation.

T.ba's collections echo the glamour of Jerez's polo scene at the turn of the 20th century—when the local teams and their stylish wives traveled to Deauville and Windsor, bringing back the best tweeds and fabrics Europe had to offer.

Mercedes and Sol channel that era without replicating it: intricate patterns, jewel-toned buttons, unexpected linings, vintage-inspired cuts.

The Craft

Mercedes and Sol don't follow trends. They pull details from the past and rework them into something modern. The fabrics are exceptional — sometimes custom-made when the originals aren't available anymore.

Everything uses natural fibers, with a focus on wool for sustainability. The brand experiments with plant-based dyes and treatments that let the materials evolve beautifully over time.

This is clothing meant to last, not just for a season but for years.

The pieces, they say, get better with wear - and once you see them, you'll believe it.

The Bottom Line

This is for anyone who values craft, heritage, and longevity over what's trending. Chic, well-made, cinematic. Once you know, you know - and you're transported.
