Abanicos Carbonell Valencia

Associated to essential complements for festive folkloric costumes (like the gypsy one in Andalucía, the maja in Madrid or the fallera in Valencia), the fan has, also, a practical use which doesn´t diminish the beauty of some pieces. Continuing this century old tradition of the Spanish fan, the Carbonell house in Valencia makes by hand and, in some cases, uses precious wonderful wood, to make classic pieces which cannot be left out of any woman´s wardrobe.

Although they have a good webpage where they sell online, because we´re in the 2.0 era, the best thing to do is to drop by their shop and admire on the spot the different models that they have on sale. Also, the company works on restoring old pieces which are offered as collectors objects. You can´t miss one made of tortoise shell form the early part of the 20th century which can delight any fashion fan, because you cannot make objects with this material anymore. If you´re travelling in this Mediterranean city, you should leave your luggage in any of the apartments in Valencia that you´ve booked and, straight away, go for a walk around its shops. In this guide, we show you the most interesting ones.
