ABSTRACTIKA was officially founded in Madrid in 2021 by Teresa Sánchez
With a background in Psychology and Music Education, Teresa spent several years working in these fields before deciding to follow her interests in art, fashion, architecture, and photography. During the pandemic, she began studying fashion design, which eventually led to the creation of Abstractika.
The brand was born from the idea of creating an alternative clothing label in Spain, where there are still few options for this style. Abstractika focuses on distinctive designs produced in small batches, using sustainable materials and deadstock fabrics whenever possible.
Over the years, building a small sustainable fashion brand has come with many challenges. Creating clothing responsibly and producing small batches from scratch is far from easy.
Many local workshops are not interested in sewing small quantities, and small brands often end up at the end of production lines. Finding good-quality fabrics produced locally is not easy either.
But the struggle continues — and so does the passion. Step by step
we keep pushing forward… and yes, we are making it happen.
The name Abstractika comes from the idea of the abstract—the state of abstraction that happens while designing and creating. It reflects the moment of disconnecting from the outside world and entering an alternative world, a parallel space where ideas, shapes, and silhouettes begin to take form.
When designing, the process draws inspiration from geometry, architecture, and artistic expression. The ending “ika” evokes rhythm and structure—suggesting sharp lines, balance, and harmony.
Fashion is not simply a business, but a space for creation and expression—an outlet and a safe place for imagination, shared with the people who wear the pieces and bring them to life
The logo may look a little esoteric — and yes, in a way it is. But it also represents the contrast between curves and straight lines, angles and geometry: the same elements that shape patterns and structures, and ultimately give life to the garments
