Career and background
Slowlove’s partnership with Tendam in 2021 changed Carbonero’s role from running a small label to sharing its creative direction within a larger retail group. The brand says she and Isabel Jiménez retained responsibility for creative work while Cortefiel took on operational management.Source: Slowlove ↗
In a studio interview with Vogue España, the founders recalled beginning in a 50-square-metre office that also served as their warehouse. Carbonero explained that an initial Cortefiel collaboration developed into the broader partnership, helping the business expand beyond its original online model.Source: Vogue España for Slowlove ↗

Family life
Speaking to S Moda in October 2026, Carbonero described experiencing football from a different perspective as a mother. Both sons had taken up goalkeeping, and she said watching them brought a different kind of emotional investment from covering sport professionally. She also stressed that football remained a game whose place in their lives could change.Source: El País / S Moda ↗
