A must visit to ESPAI RIPALDA if you want true Valencian artisan items with Las Fallas history. These store is incredible and Bea was simply WONDERFUL!!
My husband and I stopped in as I need shoes for my sons wedding - back in the USA. Since we divide our time between living in Valencia and California, I wanted something traditional from here in Spain to wear at the wedding back 'home'.
Bea looked at the photo of my dress I will be wearing to the wedding and helped me choose the most perfect fabric to complement my dress. And she was patient with me as I tried on the different styles of shoes, different heel height and different sizes to be sure to get the correct fit and feel.
Prices are very reasonable to have custom 'Fallera' style HANDMADE shoes designed and made just for me! They will take about one month in case you need to know the timing. Good things come to those that wait! So I do not mind waiting.
And to complete my order, I'm having a small clutch purse made from the same fabric. Perfecto!! read more
