Jordi Labanda Store
Uruguay-born and Barcelona-raised cartoonist Jordi Labanda made a name for himself with his colourful pointed portraits of contemporary 30-somethings in top-flight magazines and newspapers, and murals in the Sandwich & Friends fastish food chain. Now he also does original women’s clothes, in which he has toned down the colours but remains playful in design. In all his work there is an element of biting social commentary, so these are thinking-women’s clothes!

Zara
The Spanish name synonymous with inexpensive and good-quality smart casuals (that aren't made in sweatshops) will surely draw you in, if only because the same clobber in your home town probably costs twice as much! There are branches throughout the city.
