The wife wanted a new purse. We agreed in London, that we should wait for Barcelona. It was a good…read morechoice. Lupo was the place to start. It really is the top name for purses in Barcelona. The young lady who helped out did an excellent job explaining the purses. My wife zeroed right in on a cross body purse with unique design features. I needed a wallet. I'm pretty simple in my needs. They had one exactly like my current one, except sized to hold European currency. I'm OK with that. I travel enough it's useful, and it's not that much taller than US wallets. Being just a little taller, their were 4 credit card slots per side, rather than 3. The blue color on the purse was gorgeous. The features nice, and the lambskin very supple. Given the VAT rebate, the price is right there with much lesser brands in the US, in my opinion. We couldn't be happier.

Last summer I was fortunate enough to have my hotel right next to one of the Lupo boutiques in…read moreBarcelona. I purchased two bags, one for myself and one for my daughter. Let me say the style and quality is top notch! I am always complemented on it. The style is quite different than any other bags I have seen and very few stores carry this designer in the United States. I also found them to be reasonably priced. So why the A-OK rating? I have been following their website this past year and saw a big sale. To order online and ship to the United States is virtually impossible. Whenever I tried to check out with the items in my cart, I would get an error message. They wanted you to pay with PayPal which I had no issue with. I did have an issue with them asking me to pay in USD rather than Euros. The exchange rate was horrid. I told them I wanted to pay in Euros which they accepted and I saved over $150 on that alone. Since I was purchasing three bags, there was another bag I wanted in a color that was not offered. They said that they would give me the additional bag in a different color for free if I purchased the three bags. I was thrilled!!! I was also told that I would get a tracking number asap so I would know when my package would arrive. Eight days later I was still waiting for my tracking number and of course my credit card was charged. Emails went back and forth and I finally got the tracking info. The package arrived two days later and to my dismay, the free bag that was promised to me was not included. I have emailed them numerous times. They say they are looking into it but have never gotten back to me. Don't get me wrong, the bags are beautiful but there customer service has a lot to be desired. When dealing with people abroad, they should be more diligent.

I came for two reasons: 1. I really wanted to buy a good leather bag from Spain for work. 2. Spain is the place for leather So I did my research and really liked their Slang Collection which I viewed on their website. I was greeted upon entering and proceeded to the back of the store to view it. There are several lovely pieces for men and women. I tried numerous leather crossbody, found too heavy. The Slang really laid right on my frame. The colors for fall are beautiful: deep burgundy, stone, khaki and black. I purchased the crossbody I saw online plus a nice wallet. Total cost @75 euros. They do sell luggage, scarves and other accessories. I was also given a VAT form to get tax refund on my way back to NY. Nice customer service: was told how to clean my bag( baby wipes, go figure!)

Plenty of options for both men and women.
