The origin of a story that you wear
There are memories that cannot be touched, but are felt forever.
In Teresa Gala 's house there was one like that: a small, silent object, laden with meaning. It was the only memento her father kept of her mother, who had died far too young. No one could touch it. No one could use it. But Teresa couldn't stop looking at it.
From childhood, she was fascinated by dressing up, imagining characters, and building worlds. And that object awakened a deep curiosity in her. She never met her grandmother, but she grew up always asking herself the same questions:
How many times would she have gone out with it in her hand?
How many laughs, how many tears would it have held?
What did he keep inside: keys, handkerchiefs, letters, secrets?
What fears, dreams, and decisions might have gone through her mind while she was carrying him?
That's how she understood something that would stay with her for life: they are not just accessories.
They are guardians of stories.
Silent companions who accompany us every day.
At nine years old, she knew what she wanted: one day she would create her own brand. But first, she decided to prepare herself. To grow. To understand the world. She earned a double degree in Law and Business Administration, worked as a consultant, and later co-managed the family business. Finally, she and her husband started a sofa manufacturing company. Each stage made her stronger, more aware, and more prepared.
Until the moment came to listen to the girl who never stopped dreaming.
For three years he worked in silence. Designing models, searching for materials, learning from artisans with decades of experience in fine Spanish leather goods. Every decision was an act of respect: for craftsmanship, for time, for history.
When she was finally ready to launch GALA, life dealt her the hardest blow. The birth of her third child, Lucca, coincided with the brand's launch. Lucca passed away weeks before he was born. It was a devastating blow. A turning point. In how she saw the world. How she lived. How she kept going.
And yet, GALA became her anchor.
In their reason for not giving up.
In a way of transforming pain into purpose.
Teresa then understood that GALA was not just a brand.
It was a transformation.
It was a fortress.
It was passion.
It was inspiration.
Because life hits hard. Every single one of us.
But getting up is also a choice.
Today, GALA is born to remind every woman who she is and what she is worth. To accompany her on her journey. To be that silent symbol of strength, calm, and presence. To hold new stories.
Theirs.
