Veritable Vintage

I was eager to seek out the city's vintage shops and after being within sniffing distance of fusting garments numerous times, I was eventually pointed in the right direction by a friend.  Vintage garb galore, I had found my destination brimming with yesteryear charm.  Calle Rierra Baixa is brimming door on door with second hand stores offering everything a vintage lover’s heart desires. 


The city's offer of high quality vintage togs reaches beyond this singular strip.  One of my favourites for bargain garments on an Au Pairs wage was Retro City (Calle Tallers just off Las Ramblas).  Also check out these fine establishments for some vintage spangle...


Wild
Wild, situated in the Raval, mainly sells retro sunglasses from the Forties to the Nineties, including models from designer brands like Cazal, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Boll.
There are also a few accessories such as vintage handbags and purses in stock.
