When you stroll through El Born and catch a glimpse of Röa & Friends, you immediately sense that this is no ordinary store. Even from a distance, the shop draws you in—so much so that our author deliberately walked by at first, fearing she might end up buying too much. But Röa & Friends is more than just a concept store. It’s an experience.
Röa brings together a curated selection of Spanish designers and vintage pieces, offering a carefully chosen mix of It-pieces, jewelry, unique rings, coffee table books, candle holders, and other accessories that make life just a little bit more beautiful.
The store boasts a fantastic combination of Barcelona-based designer brands and carefully selected vintage treasures. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even find avant-garde candle holders that resemble claws.
Röa & Friends is different. It's unconventional, trendy, and immediately gives you the sense that there’s a real concept behind it. It’s clear that a lot of care and a sharp eye for fashion have gone into curating this space.
We love Röa & Friends, and we’re sure you will too!

Need a stunning bikini to turn heads at Barceloneta or Bogatell Beach? Say no more. PERSEI has you covered. Tucked away in the charming Carrer del Rec, just a few steps from the Passeig del Born, lies one of our absolute favorite spots for all things intimate and effortlessly stylish: PERSEI. This boutique is a true gem when it comes to beautifully curated lingerie and swimwear.
But what really sets this store apart is the quality and care behind every piece. Whether you're looking for a perfectly fitting bralette, a silky-soft pajama set that actually looks chic, or beachwear with that extra bit of elegance – this is your go-to.
Beyond lingerie and swimwear, PERSEI also offers a selection of thoughtfully chosen accessories: from perfumes and nail polish to hair clips, bags, and breezy summer dresses. It's one of those places where you pop in for “just one thing” and end up discovering a dozen new favorites.
The boutique itself is small but full of charm – just like El Born.

Angle

Another gem along Carrer dels Mirallers in Barcelona’s charming El Born: Angle.
This boutique echoes the clean, minimalist aesthetic of early 2000s American Apparel — think geometric lines, timeless cuts, and a thoughtful play with color. But here’s the difference: everything is 100% made in Barcelona. No mass production, just ethically made fashion with a strong local heart.
Founded in 2014, Angle is a Barcelona-based ethical fashion brand that crafts collections focused on timelessness, functionality, and quality. Each piece feels intentional — designed to last and to move with you.
We love the beautiful interior just as much as their beautiful range of shoes and accessories. If you're looking for sustainable fashion without compromising on style, Angle is a must-visit.

Blended

Blended is a small independent boutique nestled in the heart of El Born, Barcelona.For our author Eva, who calls El Born home, it’s one of those places she never walks out of empty-handed. Blended offers a beautifully curated mix of clothing, jewellery, homewares, and thoughtful objects — like locally made postcards. The vibe is welcoming, the prices are fair (think summer tops starting at just 20 €), and the team is genuinely kind and helpful.
Many of the designers featured here are women from diverse cultural backgrounds, and the shop’s collection—ranging from handcrafted pieces to carefully selected fashion staples—reflects that richness. It’s a space that celebrates individuality, creativity and slow fashion values.
A local favourite, and well worth a visit.
