Madrid Destino
A Piece of Madrid, Created to Travel
For an international tourism gathering in Singapore, Madrid Destino wanted to offer guests something that would carry the identity of the city beyond the event.
Island Whisper Atelier transformed one of Madrid’s most recognisable landmarks, Puerta de Alcalá, into original artwork created specifically for a bespoke collection of handcrafted luxury hand fans.
The architecture was reinterpreted through watercolour, balancing the character of Madrid with a lighter, contemporary aesthetic.
From Landmark to Keepsake
The original illustration was translated onto premium handcrafted hand fans, bringing together natural wood, artisan finishing and a design created exclusively for Madrid Destino.
Beautiful to receive and practical to use, the fans became more than an event gift: a small piece of Madrid for guests to take with them.

Made to Be Remembered
Presented to international guests in Singapore, the collection extended Madrid’s presence beyond the event through an object designed to be used, kept and remembered.
"I had the opportunity to work with Island Whisper Atelier to create a special gift for the guests of a Madrid Unique Destination event in Singapore, held at the Swissôtel The Stamford as part of ILTM 2025.
From the very first moment, Mónica stood out for her warmth, professionalism and enormous commitment to the project. She was always willing to go the extra mile, and we had the chance to try different options until we achieved exactly the result we were looking for.
The result was a truly unique fan, designed specifically to reflect the spirit of the club and the event, with materials and finishes of exceptional quality. It was a detail that delighted the guests and perfectly conveyed the special character of the occasion.
I also deeply value that Mónica was present during the event, personally explaining to guests the uniqueness and craftsmanship behind the fan they were taking home. That level of dedication and attention to detail makes all the difference.
A fantastic experience from start to finish. I would without a doubt work with Island Whisper Atelier again, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a personalised, special product made with the utmost care."

From Madrid to the World
This project reflects how Island Whisper Atelier works with tourism boards, destinations and cultural organisations to translate identity into beautifully crafted objects — from our signature luxury hand fans to bespoke gifting collections.
Whether the brief calls for original artistic storytelling or a more understated premium design, every project is developed around the destination, the audience and the experience it needs to create.

Turespaña
Celebrating Spain Through Bespoke Luxury Hand Fans
For an international tourism event in Singapore, Turespaña wanted to offer its partners a gift that felt unmistakably Spanish — elegant, authentic and memorable.
Island Whisper Atelier created a bespoke handcrafted luxury hand fan inspired by the colour, movement and craftsmanship of Spain.
The Inspiration
The creative direction began with a visual world shared by Turespaña: traditional Spanish textiles, flowers, colour, decorative patterns and the movement of flamenco dresses.
Rather than reproducing these references literally, we looked at the details that made them distinctive — their movement, textures and energy — and translated them into a contemporary artistic composition.
The result needed to feel unmistakably Spanish while remaining refined enough for an international tourism audience.
From Inspiration to Original Artwork
The flowing movement of traditional Spanish fabrics became one of the defining elements of the design.
Working by hand in watercolour, we explored vibrant reds, florals and cultural references, gradually transforming the original inspiration into an exclusive artwork created for the project.
Each brushstroke formed part of a composition designed specifically to work across the folds and movement of a handcrafted fan.
The Final Piece
The original artwork was translated into a premium handcrafted wooden hand fan, bringing together artistic storytelling, traditional craftsmanship and practical design.
The finished collection combined:
Original hand-painted watercolour artwork
Premium handcrafted wooden hand fans
Bespoke design created exclusively for Turespaña
Refined artisan finishing
Elegant presentation
The objective was not simply to place an identity on a product, but to create something that genuinely felt connected to Spain.
Guest Experience
Presented to international tourism partners in Singapore, the fans became a natural conversation piece during the event.
Guests connected with the Spanish references in the artwork while discovering the craftsmanship behind each piece.
Useful during the event and easy to take home, the hand fans transformed a tourism gift into a lasting reminder of Spain — an object designed to be used, remembered and kept.
"I was looking for a truly special gift for my partners at a high-end tourism event—something elegant, unique, and authentic that would leave a lasting impression. Discovering Island Whisper Atelier was an absolute stroke of luck.
Mónica's handmade fans were exactly what I had been searching for: beautifully crafted, distinctive, and full of character, while still fitting within our budget. From our very first conversation, Mónica immediately understood our vision and came up with several stunning design proposals. Choosing just one was incredibly difficult because every option was exceptional.
What really sets Island Whisper Atelier apart is Mónica's dedication and attention to detail. She personally oversees every step of the process, from the initial concept to the final delivery, ensuring that every piece meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. You can truly feel the passion, care, and artistry behind her work.
The fans were a huge success. Our partners were genuinely impressed by both their beauty and originality, and many commented on what a thoughtful and memorable gift they were. I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience.
If you're looking for a bespoke gift that combines elegance, authenticity and impeccable craftsmanship, I wholeheartedly recommend Island Whisper Atelier. I will certainly be returning for future corporate and personal gifts."
