Squeaky clean is neat, yes... but does it squeaky clean have character?
Arjé does, plenty of it. The merch and trinkets combined, make for a colorful pallet that will illuminate your eye.
Pots, pans, mirrors, wallets, earrings... everything you can think of... made especially for you. Locally sourced: it's beautiful to know that something you're taking home from vacation. has been made by people who know the land. I like for my souvenirs to hold authentic energy and once I entered Arjé, store I almost missed because it's not as flashy on the outside as it is on the inside, I felt that energy... mixed a longing for something to take with me... Surprisingly enough, I didn't. Which is kind of ironic, isn't it? Since I'm praising the store? Don't worry I'm no paid influencer that is aimlessly trying to get you to use my promo code. I enjoyed the store, but I kind of felt overwhelmed...
Was it a sensory overload? Who knows... Would I go back to take a trinket? Or do I feel this way because I was surrounded by beautiful things, by splattering colors, by maximalism that prickled al of my senses?
Maximalism.
Hopefully 22 will be full of it, but in the meantime if you feel like drowning in plates that look, exquisite pots that your mother, brother & grandmother would absolutely love to have, don't hesitate to enter Arjé and just explore with your eyes, take some thing with you, and hold a memory dear to your heart that'll belong to Sevilla: forever.
