VeSTIMENTA Madrid!

This neighborhood is a very dense; filled with bars, restaurants, and mostly independent stores. Chueca is comparable to Seattles Capitol hill. Its full of independently owned fashion shops and is easily recognizable by its rainbow flags and welcoming LGBTQ+ environment.

That is when I came across VeSTIMENTA, a small boutique menswear shop. Walking past, my attention was called to the contrast of the stores monotone interior and colorful clothing and marketing. The vibe of the store was classic and clean, but loud. Unique textures and patterns of both clothes and original marketing really added dimension to the shops collections.

After spending some time talking with Azucena Pacheco Sánchez, an employee at VeSTIMENTA, I learned that the contrast fit with vision VeSTIMENTA is wanting to project.

Azucena said how VeSTIMENTA is all about creating sophisticated and fashionable pieces while focusing on comfort and uniqueness. VeSTIMENTA is a mixture of original pieces and designs brought in from Italy. Founded in 1973, VeSTIMENTA just celebrated their second anniversary in a new location on Madrids Calle Pelayo.
