Elena and Mercedes are sisters and creators of Zubi, a brand born and grown with their travels, which are printed on the cotton pouches, the brand's signature. However, they have long explored new horizons: knitwear, leather, linen, and timeless and durable garments. They have the certainty that good objects can make life more pleasant, whether those objects are well-designed trousers, a jacket for a thousand occasions, or good cosmetics.
We go in in Zubi's bathroom to discover her cosmetics cabinet

The Perfect Bag by Laconicum & Zubi
Zubi and Laconicum have teamed up to create The Perfect Bag. And We take the opportunity to ask Elena and Mercedes what's in their bag and, while we're at it, we take a look at their cosmetics closet.
This collaboration is called "The Perfect Bag." What is your perfect bag? What cosmetics does it carry inside?
We agreed to take An RMS blush, a cocoa powder, and a lipstick. These three things are a must.
You chose the Brunjol pouch for this collaboration. Why that model? What does it evoke in your mind?
We love crazy forests, and this one with those colors is totally Iceland and autumn.
Why did you decide to collaborate with Laconicum?
Because Laconicum is our go-to for testing cosmetics, we love everything they select, and their products are always a 10.
