During REC.0, from 5 to 8 November, designers, artisans and fashion brands will exhibit their articles at Adoberia Bella

For the fifth consecutive edition, Leather Cluster Barcelona will take part in REC.0 with its own space: La Pell del Rec.

REC.0 Experimental Stores will take place from 5 to 8 November. REC.0 is the transformation of Igualada's Rec neighbourhood into fashion pop-up stores. Over four days, major local and international brands and independent and emerging fashion designers sell their stock and sample collections there at unique prices. The festival has become the leading fashion, heritage and culture event in Catalonia, with some 100 brands taking part and more than 100,000 visitors.

Through this space, La Pell del Rec, Leather Cluster Barcelona seeks to showcase those of its members who work in design, fashion and the artisan creation of leather articles, championing the potential of craftsmanship and giving visibility to the considerable community of leather designers and artisans in our country. In this way the cluster also champions leather and its application in craftsmanship and design as the original material of the circular economy.

In the La Pell del Rec space during REC.0, Leather Cluster Barcelona will celebrate leather in all its forms, and visitors will be able to find leather articles, leather goods and fashion accessories from the following brands:

Leather Hug Belts

Nubuckcuir

Sominemi

Dosper

Puntotres

Sañudo Artesania

Platadepalo

Carner Barcelona

Seatty Rugs

As in every edition, the LaGaspar Municipal School of Art and Design of Igualada will play a prominent role in the La Pell del Rec event.

Leather Cluster Barcelona calls on people to visit Adoberia Bella during the days of REC.0 and to buy the leather pieces and fashion accessories of the brands that are members of the cluster, brands inspired by values such as quality, craftsmanship, local sourcing, authenticity and sustainable fashion. Choosing leather means investing in articles that can be used for many years. A leather article can last a lifetime.

Leather Cluster Barcelona is an environment of competitive cooperation for promoting cross-cutting, transformative strategic projects with the aim of driving forward the ecosystem of the Catalan leather sector within the framework of Shared Value policies. The cluster is an accredited entity within the Catalonia Clusters programme and has the support of Acció.
