About the Designer

Annette is based in Barcelona, Spain. Her collections are produced in Spain.

Gauche Protocol is a new fashion accessory label dedicated to sourcing new and recycled army surplus and transforming it through the application of text.
As the quantity of available army surplus base items is depletable, Gauche Protocol accessories are produced in limited editions.
The sources of the texts on Gauche Protocol accessories may be fragments from conversations between intimate friends, poignant remarks made by a fleeting acquaintance or debonair conclusions drawn in solitude.
Their selection is made based on a profound love for the written word and an intuitive sense for the popular, the unpopular and the workings of contemporary interpersonal communication.
Gauche Protocol was created by Saül Serradesanferm, a Catalan desiger, and Annette Spörel, a German copywriter, in late 2009. They work and live together in Barcelona.
