In the number 7 of Mirallers street(Barcelona) we can find the shop Ivori, owned by the designer from Barcelona Carola Alexandre. The shop is hidden between small streets from the Catalan city, but it is very easy to find thanks to a sign placed in a very busy street near it.

The shop’s name is followed by a subtitle which already indicates what we can find in it. This subtitle is “made in Barcelona”, and this is because in Ivori you can only shop clothes made by Catalan designers.

Welcome!

Behind the title “Made in Barcelona” (“Hecho en Barcelona” in Spanish) we want to create a space where the fashion from the catalan city is the main protagonist. With this target, we will cover all those events related with the textile sector, a sector which has been working really well this last years in Barcelona.The events will go from the most important ones, like the 080 Barcelona Fashion Week, to others like the opening of little shops of designers from Barcelona who are, for now, still unknown.

We are very happy to start this initiative and we hope you are as interested as we are in this subject! 

Thank you for reading!
