A designer’s workshop is very different from a car manufacturing plant. They are two apparently divergent worlds. But why not merge the passion for design in both spheres so as to drive a car with the latest in technology coupled with the latest in colours, fabrics and finishes?

With this aim in the mind, fashion firm Mango and carmaker Seat have reached an agreement to create the new Mii by Mango, a special edition of the Spanish marque’s city car.

Both brands have taken the city of Barcelona as their inspiration, a city that is fast becoming an international centre for innovation. According to a recently-published report by Ernst & Young, Barcelona is one of the world’s top ten cities in attracting international investment projects. The most highly appreciated aspects are its quality of life and qualifications of its human capital.

In the eyes of both Seat and Mango, Barcelona is synonymous with accessible, international, cosmopolitan, vanguard, multicultural, a city that lives design and offers quality. These attributes define the spirit of both brands, and have been very much to the forefront when creating the new Seat Mii by Mango.

The result of this joint creative process has been the birth of a trend-setting, young city car, offering a diversity of colours such as glam beige, black and grey, with an eye-catching interior and exterior.

Available in three- and five-door versions, this new car gives a wink to the female market, adding a hook for bags and a mirror in the driver’s sunshade, as well as other accessories.
