When it comes to shopping in Barcelona, El Borne seems like the place to spend the most time. A neighborhood of boutiques, cafes, and restaurants fill a few block minutes from the beach.

We came across a few stores boasting lines from international designers including Raf Simons, Opening Ceremony, Comme Des Garçons, and D Squared.

Within El Borne, we came across our favourite shop which was current and could hold it’s own in New York just as well as Barcelona. Hamptons was an impressive shop with a very well bought collection from Acne, Helmut Lang, Rag & Bone and essentials from Malin + Geotz. Within the collections of international brands, there was great buying for the dressier man, woman or child.

Next time you’re in the city, they’re definitely worth a visit.
