Mi Bolsa enters jewellery sector
The company said the new jewellery pieces are 'a natural extension of the brand's signature aesthetic and commitment to craftsmanship'.
It told FashionNetwork.com that 'fine jewellery was a natural evolution. Our brand has always been rooted in meaningful craftsmanship and personal expression. We saw a desire among our customers for pieces that go beyond functionality, something lasting, elegant, and deeply personal. Jewellery, especially when crafted with intention, becomes a reflection of one's identity. Launching our debut collection in solid 14 karat gold and natural gemstones allowed us to offer designs that are timeless yet expressive, mirroring the values our community already appreciates in our bags.'
As mentioned, it has used solid 14 karat gold and natural gemstones with standout pieces including like the Flora Whisper earrings, necklaces, and rings, as well as the Toi et Moi and Harmony rings featuring pearls, sapphires, tourmalines, and more.
Prices range from around £287 for the Flora Whisper bracelet and earrings, and up to £465 for the Flora Whisper necklace. Many of its signature rings are priced at £329.
The brand itself is only five years old having been founded in London back in 2020 by siblings Mikayla and Alex, and inspired by their father, a celebrated artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Mi Bolsa is Spanish for 'my bag' and the label aims to blend 'the vibrant flair of Spanish style with the refined elegance of London'.
The launch comes as the brand is 'actively growing our wholesale presence'. While DTC 'remains core to our identity, allowing us to connect directly with our community and maintain full creative control… we're building a carefully curated portfolio of stockists who align with our values and aesthetic. For us, it's not about scale for scale's sake, but about meaningful partnerships that share our commitment to quality, artistry, and thoughtful design. This dual approach helps us meet our customers where they are, whether online, in-store, or through trusted retail partners.'

Mango speeds up UK rollout of youth line Mango Teen
Mango will accelerate the expansion of its Teen line in the UK with the Spanish fashion giant saying it has identified a gap in the market for 'youthful, contemporary and quality' fashion, while also noting that the sector's witnessing 'growing teen spending power in the UK'. Supporting its expansion plan, the brand has given Mango Teen its third UK standalone store space at Glasgow's Buchanan Galleries, representing its first in Scotland and first outside of London. The expansion reflects the strong performance of the line since it was first introduced online in the UK in 2021 and the launch of the brand's first standalone Teen stores on London's Carnaby Street and in London Westfield last year. This has led to 'greater brand awareness among a younger demographic of consumers'. Deemed a 'priority market' for Mango, the UK was also the first international market to host a standalone Teen store, and currently the country leads the way with the greatest number of standalone stores. The latest expansion forms part of the brand's overall global growth plan, which saw the company double the number of standalone Teen stores in 2024 to more than 40, as well as its online presence to 95 markets. Berta Moral, global director of Mango Kids and Teen, said: 'Today's teens are turning to fashion to express themselves like never before. We see a clear gap in the market for contemporary, youthful fashion at a reasonable price point and our collection of timeless staples and modern pieces in eye-catching prints and quality fabrics is already resonating with this younger generation.'

Spain's housing crisis deepens: residents' anger is rising
Since 2010, housing prices in the European Union have surged by over 50% on average, while rents have climbed by 26%. Spain is among the hardest-hit nations, with rents increasing by up to 80% in the past decade. This is a crisis caused by a cocktail of scarce housing supply, inflated construction costs, the boom in short-term rentals, and foreign investor speculation. 'Barcelona is a city full of tourists. Rents are extortionate,' says Rosario Castelló, a longtime resident and member of the tenants' union, Sindicat de Llogateres. She faces eviction after her apartment block was purchased by Vandor Group, a subsidiary of British investment fund Patron Capital. 'I've lived in my flat for 26 years,' explains Rosario. 'It's where I raised my children, and where I have my clothing brand Pinku No Kuma,' she says showing the dresses she designs with her daughter. 'And Vandor wants to take my house away from me, along with everything I've achieved here,' she adds. Rosario is the last of the building's former tenants. All the other flats were turned into co-living spaces, rented to foreigners on short term leases. 'Vulture funds are massively buying entire buildings for speculation. And they're throwing us all out,' storms Castelló. 'It must stop.' Despite her lease having expired, she refuses to leave and is in legal proceedings with the owner to which she still pays rent. 'They offered me a small fee to get me out,' she explains, 'but rental prices are extortionate. I have nowhere to go.' Across Barcelona, residents like Rosario are banding together. Supported by the Sindicat de Llogateres, they are fighting to avoid evictions and pressure public authorities to intervene. 'There is a total lack of protection for the right to housing,' exclaims Martina Ges Torra, another member of the tenants' union. 'We will collectively defend this right.' The Spanish government is trying to curb the crisis. Measures include plans to remove 65,000 Airbnb listings, increase taxes on property purchases by non-EU nationals, and enforce rental caps. 'We have started to regulate the rise in rental prices,' says Barcelona's Mayor, Jaume Collboni, noting an 8% price drop in Barcelona. Another sweeping measure will eliminate all Airbnb apartments in the city by 2028, returning 10,000 homes to residential use. 'And in Catalonia, short-term rentals will be subject to the same price cap,' adds the mayor. 'This means a huge drop in profitability for investment funds – it's a deterrent.' Jaume Collboni is leading the 'Mayors for Housing Alliance' initiative, involving 15 major European cities. They have presented the EU with a European Housing Action Plan urging Brussels to invest in affordable housing and exempt such spending from the limitations of state aid rules. 'The European Commission must act,' insists Collboni. 'If citizens see that European institutions aren't addressing a problem of such magnitude, it could trigger a crisis of legitimacy,' he says, concluding: 'It's not just a social issue. The future of the European project, and of democracy itself, are also at stake.'
