The Basque handcrafted makila in the pages of VOGUE Spain.
Alberdi Makila was featured in VOGUE Spain (February 2020) in a special report that takes a journey back to the roots of Spain through fashion, landscapes, and tradition. In this edition, models Miriam Sánchez, Marina Pérez, and Inés Sastre, photographed by Txema Yeste, grace the cover in a tribute to craftsmanship with a forward-looking vision: sustainable, exclusive, and deeply connected to the land.
In this context, Alberdi Makila was recognized for its artisanal expertise in creating the handcrafted makila, the authentic traditional Basque walking stick. Each piece is a living symbol of Basque wood craftsmanship, meticulously made by hand using selected materials and know-how passed down through generations.
The makila is not only an object of great beauty but also an emblem of respect, identity, and cultural pride. At Alberdi Makila, each Basque stick and personalized makila is a unique creation, made to last and to carry forward tradition.
This VOGUE Spain feature celebrates the new luxury: authentic, personalized, and soulful. For those wishing to discover the story of the Basque makila, purchase a traditional makila, or explore our custom handcrafted walking sticks, this editorial appearance is a recognition of the cultural and artistic value of our creations, including the iconic makila of honor.
