That huge 50% off sign just sucked me into the store before my Yelp friend could stop me. The staff here is really nice and friendly. Instead of us shopping for what they have on sale, I asked them to bring out jackets that are the right size and of course on sale. A personal shopping experience? After trying on a few jackets, we ended purchasing one that is 50% off. A perfect jacket for the spring. The store is conveniently located just a block away from Casa Mila.

During my recent visit to Barcelona (my 3rd), I finally had the chance to visit Papirvm when it was…read moreopen. It's in the Gothic Quarter and with all these narrow streets, it seemed a bit challenging to even find this place again. The shop is very small, and if others are shopping at the same time, please be prepared for some tight moves. Staff speaks English and I appreciated their response to my questions and their overall knowledge. Most of their journals are made in house, and for me it was a question of size, cover material (leather or book binding), and lined vs. blank paper. Gayle usually rolls her eye every time I find one of these kind of places. She came in this time and happily found a nice card/envelope set, and regretted that we didn't purchase one of their small globes. Other accessories such as ink, magnifying glasses, wax seal stamps, etc. also await. Don't let the small size fool you, as this place is like a dense onion with many layers. My obsessive attention served me well.

Here's why I won't bother sending it back or anything: First, they forgot to send it for two weeks. Errors are human, I would've understood, but here's what's not acceptable: I never got a proper reply, with at least "oops, sorry about that", to messages I sent by form, email, messenger AND instagram. I only got a standard "your order has been sent" by email a whole week later (that is 3 weeks after my original order). All in all the bag I paid "3 day shipping" for arrived a month later, and it wasn't the right bag. It had a couple of goodies with it, but honestly, I didn't need that, I needed to be acknowledged. This is also not a language barrier as my first email was in Spanish, which I speak as well. I don't say this often but I would therefore not recommend you order from Vaho. Maybe in person in the shop it's a good experience, and I do like the project and the bags, but they are not up to standards when it comes to a web shop.

The store dragged my attention from the street with it's nice interior showing trough the windows and when I entered I realized it was a retro store. Here you will find a bunch of colorful lamps, chairs, details for the home and the kitchen. I can usually spot some scandinavian objects, and they even sell the retro Erik Kold tins that I myself have in home. If I finally move to Barcelona I'm sure this will be a regular visiting point for me. Already as a tourist I've visited on several trips. If you are still doubting I can add that the neigboorhood is full of jems to be decovered, this just adds to the bunch.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this perfume shop. I went in looking for a specific…read moreperfume that I've been using for years but had some doubts about which one it was. The owner confidently assured me--100%--that he knew exactly which one I needed because he was "the expert." Trusting his expertise, I purchased the perfume for €150, which is not cheap by any means. When I got home and opened the box (only removing the cellophane), I immediately realized it was NOT the right perfume. I returned the same day, fully expecting that he would take responsibility for his mistake and allow me to exchange it--especially since I hadn't used it. However, instead of acknowledging his error, he refused to swap it, giving me a long-winded excuse about how he couldn't accept returns because I had removed the outer plastic. His so-called "solution" was to offer me a half-used sample of the perfume I actually wanted, claiming he had no more stock--which was clearly a lie, as he keeps his stock behind the counter. So, in the end, I paid €150 for a half-used bottle of perfume, all because this shop owner made a mistake and refused to take accountability. That is absolutely unacceptable and appalling customer service. I do not recommend this place to anyone. If this is how they treat their customers, I suggest taking your business elsewhere.

I cannot recommend this place enough! I was in Barcelona mid October and was looking for a local…read morecosmetic or perfume store to buy a special Spanish perfume to commemorate my trip. Everywhere I searched in Barcelona had international, commercial perfumes that I can easily get online or my native country (United States). By chance, I came across Isidro's and went there on my last full day. I went as soon as they opened so I was the only customer. Isidro politely let me do my own thing and then checked up on me. Once we spoke and I told him that I was looking for something Spanish to remember this beautiful trip, he began to share his wealth of information with me. He showed me so many Spanish perfumes, explained the different scents and notes in them and gave some back story on the original maker if he knew some of it. Being the only person there, the shopping experience was a cool, intimate experience because he dedicated almost a full hour to talking to me and sharing his knowledge. Additionally, there was no pressure from him whatsoever to purchase. I ended up purchasing an expensive perfume for myself, another for my mom and some men's grooming items for my dad and brother. He wrapped them up beautifully for me too. Also, I was able to speak to him for a long time because I'm a native Spanish speaker, so conversation was easy. I left Isidro's feeling like I accomplished my mission and like I left with a friend in Barcelona. I'll definitely come back the next time!!
