31 editions later, Gratacós is still present and giving it all at the Premiere Vision Paris fair. An event we look forward to each year to show the fabrics from our new collections. We always come back from the fair with a good feeling and pleased with the result.
This year, as always our presence at the fair has not gone unnoticed. Thanks to the 10 people working on our stand that made each and every one of our clients feel the warm welcome of our fabrics and capture the essence of Gratacós.
This fabric fair in Paris brings together each year more and more people from all over. Customers from the 5 continents that travel to discover the novelties that will be tendency for the upcoming season and that have been welcomed under the slogan “Heres fashion comes to life”. We love it.
Furthermore, in this edition, more than ever, we have noticed the presence of Asian customers who are increasingly interested in the novelties of European fashion.
In Gratacós, we are very happy with our participation in Premiere Vision Paris. Our customers are delighted with the novelties we are exhibiting and we are back feeling very eager to continue innovating and to show our fabrics to other corners of the world.
Once again this year we have exhibited at the international fair Munich Start. We have been attending this fair for four years now and it has been an opportunity to present the new fabrics which will be in fashion next season. And this time with more novelties than ever.
This time our visit to Germany has been to gain a foothold and establish the presence of Gratacós in this country, with the opening of an agency that represents our fabrics (Ralph Fuhrmann).
In Gratacós, we have taken a step further to continue expanding our presence on an international level and to introduce our fabrics in many other countries.
We are now back and are very happy to transport the passion we have for our work and the results it brings with it to other places. In this way we give the international fashion world a bit more of ourselves every time.
In Gratacós we think there is no better way to end the month of January than with a little surprise that brightens up our day. Especially if you are thinking of getting married and are currently in search of your bridal dress. In order to make the dress you have always imagined yourself in, you will need the perfect fabric, and that’s where we come in.
As from next Tuesday 27th January, in our shop in Pau Claris we are putting on an outlet for fabrics and bridal accessories. Here you will be able to find all types of bridal fabrics; from brocades, jacquards, laces or sequins; to a variety of plains such as satin, taffeta, silk or crepes. All these fabrics in a range of white and ivory colours.
If you wanted choice, then Gratacós can offer it to you.
Furthermore, we have a large variety of complements and bridal accessories. From lace fans, to headbands and organza gloves, aswell as headdresses made by hand by designers such as Julio Quijano or Anna Blau, amongst others.
If however you are one of the ones who are waiting to see the new bridal collection, you will have to wait a little longer. We will launch it in March when we move to the new Gratacós shop.
Just to remind you, you can visit the Outlet as from Tuesday 27th at our store in Pau Claris, level 2 – Barcelona. We look forward to seeing you there and showing you all the fabrics.
This year, the 080 Barcelona Fashion Week has made an impressive debut and people are already talking about the young designers who once again have the opportunity to present their collections and introduce themselves into the world of fashion. Furthermore, this new edition is full of surprises and one of them – if not the most important – is the new award for these emerging young talents.
The Generalitat de Catalunya National Award to emerging design 080 BFW.
The objective of this 20.000€ prize is recognition of the talent of these designers and the diffusion and notoriety of the winning brand. It is also recognition of Catalan fashion in general, both at a national and international level.
This 15th edition of the 080 fashion show will take place from the 2nd to 5th February in the Maritime Museum in Barcelona – DrassanesReials. A space which is being prepared and converted to accommodate the maximum number of people possible during these 4 days.
From Gratacós, we will be present at the show offering our support to those young talents who work so hard to find their place in the fashion industry. We are already very impatient to see all the novelties.
Times of change are upon us. A time to embark on a new adventure and bet it all on a new space adapted to the textile sector in the 21st Century. This is why we have taken a step forward and after 75 years in Paseo de Gracia 110, we are moving to a new and different space that fits the needs of our current customers much better and also our needs as a textile company.
We have spent many wonderful years in this historical place in Barcelona, which has felt like a home and has left us many unforgettable moments. Our objective now is to create a much warmer and welcoming space, but offer the same personalized assistance to each and every one our customers.
This new location in Barcelona will merge wholesale and retail trade, expositions, workshops and welcome new talents all in one Fashion Space. An opportunity not only for us, but also for many other people and artists dedicated to the fashion industry doing what we most like; giving shape to our fabrics.
On the 4th December Shopping Night Barcelona takes place. This will be the last day we open our shop in Paseo de Gracia, and we will make the most of this night to celebrate our farewell.
From this date onwards, you can find us in Pau Claris 162 where we will open a pop up store to tie us over until we open the new establishment, which we will inform you about later on.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you in our shop in Paseo de Gracia where you are very welcome, as always.
