Inevitably, lockdown and teleworking – which have meant a lot of time spent at home for most of us – have brought us a greater appreciation for the tracksuit. This item of clothing, largely shunned by the big fashion brands, has made a comeback during the pandemic because of our quest for comfort. Designs, functionality...
It’s quite shocking when you look at the uses, customs and artefacts of underwear that have been worn throughout history, especially by women.

Spring is here! And although the warm weather won’t come overnight, the days are getting longer, the ritual of changing the clocks is approaching, and it’s time to banish the monotonous blacks and greys from the wardrobe. At illa Carlemany, the centre of Andorra, the shop windows are full of the atmosphere of spring and...

As a result, discounts in our shops are available earlier too, which means Christmas is also the sale season, and this will certainly...
“Fashion comes and goes; but style lasts forever”. As Coco Chanel famously pointed out, it’s one thing to dress fashionably and it’s something entirely different to dress with style.
