UNIMA was established in 2019 by Yessica Cruz Campos and Gerardo Rodríguez Zárate. As a couple with a shared passion for photography, design, and gastronomy, together they identified the need to create accessories with a proper design and functionality for photography work.

With a vision of seeing this dream project turn into reality, Yessica and Gerardo began their creative journey, hoping to bring to life unique accessories that would become part of photographers’ professional and personal experiences. The process of creating UNIMA involved constant learning, challenges and several peaks and valleys. Far from discouraging the founders, this kept the couple strong-willed, perseverant, and with the enormous desire to move forward and be present through every hurdle, including every process involving materials and product study.

This is how UNIMA became the celebration of love between two individuals with a shared dream.

To the brand’s founders, it was paramount to create the project from scratch alongside a wide team of industrial designers, leather workers, tanners, digital designers and other experts from the field. During the creation of UNIMA, one of its fundamental aspects represented the design of its structure and the use of the best leather for each product, using certified calfskin and bison skins in order to gather the best elements for each piece and the best user experience for each photographer.

Today, at the end of this journey, which included the testing of all our products by various professional photographers throughout the last year, the entire UNIMA team is proud to launch this brand.

Our greatest wish is to accompany all those photographers who are passionate about documenting their personal lives and professional projects, carrying UNIMA throughout their individual and personal histories.
