Elena and Mercedes are sisters and creators of Zubi, a brand that was born and grows with their travels, which they print on the cotton pouches, the brand's seal. Although they have long explored new horizons: those of knitwear, leather, linen, timeless and durable garments. They are certain that good objects can make life more pleasant, whether those objects are well-designed pants, a jacket for a thousand occasions or good cosmetics.

The Perfect Bag by Laconicum & Zubi
Zubi and Laconicum have joined forces to create The Perfect Bag. And we take the opportunity to ask Elena and Mercedes what's in their bag and, along the way, we delve into their cosmetic closet.
This collaboration is called "The Perfect Bag". What is your perfect bag? What cosmetics does it have inside?
We agreed to wear a blush from RMS, a cocoa and a lipstick. Those 3 things can never be missing.
You have chosen the Brunjol pouch for this collaboration, why that model? What does it evoke in you?
We love crazy forests, and this one with those colors is totally Iceland and autumn.
Why have you launched this collaboration with Laconicum?
Because Laconicum is our reference for trying cosmetics, we love everything they select and their products are always a 10.
