NUMA TORRES

Hi there! My name is Numa Torres, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you. 

With a solid background in Fashion Design and a 30-year career in interior design, including 20 years living in Spain, I've been fortunate enough to experience the beauty and diversity of cultures in the heart of Europe. Originally from the Dominican Republic, I've always been passionate about creativity and artistic expression.

When the economic crisis hit Spain, I decided to pivot my career and delve into the fascinating world of footwear. The Avarcas or Menorquinas style of footwear from the island of Menorca in the Spanish Mediterranean captured my heart with its rich history, unmatched comfort, quality, and versatility. That's how my most beloved project, Numa by Spanians, was born.

When I moved to New York City, I wanted to keep my connection with Spain alive, no matter where I was. Numa is more than just a place - it's a state of mind, a commitment to integration, and a celebration of my Dominican heritage. At Numa by Spanians, we're not just a team of designers and artisans; we're a family committed to excellence. We work together to offer high-quality products that meet our customers' standards.

Part of our mission is to elevate the values of Latin women; that was the main reason why every model of Numa’s has a name in honor of those women that are friends or family, who have been a great influence and help in Numa's life. The same with Numa's men collection, every model has Vini as a name as part of his father's legacy.

Thank you for joining us on this wonderful journey. When you wear a pair of our products, you'll not only experience quality and style, but also the passion and history that make Numa by Spanians truly special. Welcome to our family!
