We caught your attention once. Stay for a moment.
You may have been looking for a job as a chef. Instead, you landed on a job listing for making leather bags. Reasonable question.
Here’s why.
If you know how to work in a fast, demanding kitchen, you already understand a lot of what matters here. Speed without panic. Precision under pressure. Consistency. Clean execution. Respect for materials, tools, and timing.
That translates surprisingly well.
At Atelier Madre, we borrowed something from the open kitchen and brought it into the world of leather bags. Our workshop is visible. The process is part of the experience. Things are made here, in real time, with customers close by. It is production, but it is also presence.
You might be thinking: fine, but I have never made a bag.
That part we can teach.
If you have good hands, a sharp eye, and the discipline to work fast without becoming sloppy, we are interested. Think of it as a kitchen for bags. Different material. Similar rhythm.
About Atelier Madre
Atelier Madre is an independent brand founded in 2021 in Barcelona. We make premium bags and accessories in our own store and workshop in El Born.
Our model is simple: local production, local sourcing where possible, and everything under one roof. Design, production, marketing, and retail all happen in the same place.
Since opening, Atelier Madre has become known not only in Barcelona but also among visitors from around the world. Our store is a destination, and the business continues to grow both in person and online.
The Role
We are looking for someone to join the team full-time who cares about quality and wants to stay long enough to become genuinely good at the work.
You should be reliable, precise, and efficient. The role is full-time, 40 hours per week. Our store is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00.
What You’ll Do
You will help make leather bags and accessories in our workshop in El Born. Daily tasks include:
* cutting
* burnishing
* sorting
* riveting
* general workshop support
You bring speed, focus, and the willingness to learn. We will teach you the techniques. If you can work cleanly and quickly in a kitchen, there is a good chance you can do the same here.
Because we are a small and growing business, other responsibilities may come up too.
Who We’re Looking For
You could be a strong fit if:
* you have experience in kitchens or other fast-paced hands-on environments
* you have a background in model making, construction, sewing or similar craft-based work
* you are practical, organised, and pay attention to detail
* you are comfortable around customers and can communicate warmly and naturally
* you speak English well enough to work with the team
Why Join
Atelier Madre is not a factory and not a corporate brand. We make things ourselves, in front of people, in the middle of the city. The work is direct. The standards are high. The team is small. What you do matters.
If that sounds good, apply.
