This is a great little shop in the Raval. the cool shop has only scandinavian design, such as Design House Stockholm, Erik Jørgensen, Eva Solo, Gubi, Iittala, Leklint, Marimekko, Menu, Normann Copenhagen, Rosendahl, Stelton, Swedese, Tonfisk, Playsam and Vipp buckets… To name a few.

If you want to visit the shop: Here is a map

Great fashion shop on C/ de Comerc, Emphasising heavily on cult youth or street wear from all over the world, but also quite a few local artists and designers. Moreover the Iguapop shop are very much into cool chill out music, from well-known as well as not that well known artists!

Why go there: First of all they have the rebajas at the moment, where you can find great offers on handmade bags from Pinzat, or adidas shoes with art from local artists on them. Furthermore it is very inspiring to go to the Iguapop Shop… If not inspiring enough.. go to the Iguapop Gallery next door!

Where: C/ de Comerc in El Borne

M 69 is a nice little fashion shop in Barcelona… or 3 that is, as they just opened their third shop in Borne!

They started the shops to only have mens fashion, and (don’t quote me for this) I think gay fashion, otherwise they wouldn’t call Eixample for Gaixample would they now? Anyways, they wanted their shop to have design clothes for the man of the 21 century… And eventhough we heard that song before… it is kinda cool!

But before we get all too naive here, the name of the shop is explained by the owners Albert and Jordi, as: “M is your name, 69 is your favourite position!” Well to me it can get a bit too gay… but hey… those two guys don’t run the shops anymore… Propably sipping mojitos somewhere in gay heaven or whatever…

So, back to the shops, for men who “knows elegance and where to find it!”

In the shops you’ll find brand names such as:
Glamour, Encanto, Converse All Star, Havaianas, Paul Smith, Puma, Bikkemberg, E.Play, Amaya Arzuaga, Bosfresh, Evisu, Freitag, Geda, Kee, Dnim, Kulte, Miro Jeans, Plata, Replay and Seal… and much, much more!

So, you’ll find jeans, pants, shirts and shoes for the fashion victim, but also accessories, books and music!
