OUR STORY
THE-ARE started from nothing
Hi, I'm R, the founder of THE-ARE and a little bit 'the culprit' that we can write this story together. When I was 23 years old, I decided to create my own brand and I started designing clothes for my friends in a small room. I remember I had a lot of fabric scraps that I had collected during my years studying design. I took the sewing machine, made the patterns, prepared a shooting and organized the first showroom of THE-ARE.
Since then my life has been to create with you a story about a girl who makes clothes for her friends.
Thanks to you, for making this adventure possible day by day.
OUR BEGINNINGS
THE-ARE is in English: ' la erre'. I came up with the name because my friends call me that way, R. I have always liked to dress differently and feel special with the clothes I wear, that's why I have always liked to wear different clothes. THE-ARE I saw the opportunity to make girls of my generation feel that way too.
From Instagram the word was spreading and thanks to you, there were more and more of us. You were writing me on instagram to know how to get the clothes you saw in photos.
Little by little, the sequin tops became our insignia, and with the idea of growing together, we have launched new collections for events, swimwear and casual, to accompany you in your day to day.
THE-ARE it didn't stop growing... I remember the day we opened our first website and orders were pouring in. I was not aware of where it was going to go THE-ARE!
A road we travel together
Our story is about CHALLENGES, how to create a brand from scratch, produce in Spain or overcome a worldwide pandemic...
Since we started, we have accumulated countless SUCCESSES, but also many FAILURES that we had to turn into opportunities. Day by day we fight to continue writing our story with you!

THIS IS US
Since we started everything has changed a lot!
To give you an idea, I started making the patterns on paper and cutting them on the carpet at my parents' house.👀 now we make the patterns on the computer and cut on a 6 meter table!
Something I am really proud of is our evolution, always focused on YOU and our CLOTHES. We have never stopped wanting to make you dream with them.
We design our garments from scratch, always inspired by you. We choose the best fabrics and give them shape in pattern making, cutting and tailoring. We make thousands of fittings (and I'm not kidding...) until we find the perfect garments for you.🏼
Our girls!
