Like in many other European cities, Barcelona is a very fashionable urban area. People like to dress up and follow the newest trend. However what's in right now is to take grandma's clothes and go with the vintage vibe.

If you don't have any vintage outfits, shoes, purses or accesories, there are many vintage shops in Barcelona that have countless retro items to offer.

M.O.T.E.L Vintage

With 50s and 60s dresses, neat crocodile handbags and deadstock swimwear, M.O.T.E.L Vintage has beautiful hand-chosen vintage for good prices.

It is the project of Elisabeth, a young lady with very good taste who recognizes that one of the things she loves best is turning her shop into the channel between the clothes she loves and picks one by one and the people who come to visit her.

Thanks to her impeccable selection, M.O.T.E.L is a magic and stylish venue that recreates a motel’s room and while the shop window stands for the 50’s style cafeteria, inside the clothes are displayed between an antique reception-style desk, a vintage bathtub or, even, a library corner.
