A couple, with their backpacks on their backs, wait for a plane that will take them on a trip around the world. A journey for which they have left a good part of their lives behind. They need a change, they need to see the world, they need to be happy in a different way.
During the journey they get to know many countries, different ways of living and communicating. They discover that almost everything comes from the details and, most importantly, they discover that for each other, they have become the most important thing in their lives.
It is difficult for a trip like this not to change your life, and it changed ours, it gave us the initiative we needed to embark on a new path and believe in it, even though we didn’t know how to shape it.
Madrid Airport, 66 years earlier
A man in a grey suit and hat, carrying a large suitcase, waits for a plane to take him to America. His name is Manuel Guill and inside the suitcase he carries the latest collection of exclusive women’s shoes and a dream of seeing the profession of his life grow and of getting to know a new world.
I am Álvaro, founder and creative director of HUIT and that man was my grandfather. It was his legacy that inspired us to start this adventure.
Today we are proud of the process that has brought us this far, that has made us braver. Of this path we have chosen and which we hope will take us very far.
Our products are a reflection of this inspiration. And they mix the legacy that leather represents for us, the authenticity of noble materials, the eternity of those pieces that pass from generation to generation, that smell of history and evoke pleasant memories, with the desire for adventure, freedom and discovery that travel represents.
In the end, it is that longing to go back to where we came from.
