Where Magic Meets Mastery

Explore the Rich Heritage & Timeless Artistry of Arribas

Captivate

Our Humble Beginnings

Hailing from La Coruña, Spain, the Arribas brothers—Tomas, Alfonso, and Manuel—honed the ancient art of glassblowing and cutting, a craft passed down through generations in their family. Their exceptional skills garnered recognition from the Spanish Cultural Ministry, catapulting them to the 1964 New York World’s Fair. It was there that Walt Disney, enchanted by their craftsmanship, invited them to open their first store in Disneyland California in 1967, laying the groundwork for their expansion across Disney parks worldwide.

Over the years, the Arribas brothers expanded their artisanal expertise to include damascene, wood carving, silhouette cutting, caricature drawing, and more. Guided by the fourth generation of dedicated Arribas artists, the Arribas legacy continues to thrive as a testament to their enduring commitment to artistry and innovation.
