Political Leather Bracelets Unknowns on Lavapiés (8). Two brave tailors: custom clothes in Lavapies.

I noticed
, tangentially, in the office of the dressmakers in the expertise of those who can turn the fabric into clothing as unique and exclusive.
I do not know if there are still old-school fashion designers, from those who had his workshop at home and that clients had in newly purchased cloth bags in Ribes & Casals, Calle Atocha or in the shops located around the Plaza Mayor to the measures being taken, for a blouse, a suit jacket, a skirt ...

Be brave, no matter what.
