CARTUJANO

ISALDA

Founded in 1877, Cartujano has a long history of producing high-quality leather goods. All the brand’s products are made in Spain by skilled craftsmen. The Cartucho is one of the highlights this season: inspired by an antique hunting bag, this unlined, French calfskin model pairs a sleek, statement silhouette with a rich shade of chestnut brown. Side seams cross-stitched by hand and a detachable strap provide the finishing touches.

Madrid-based Isalda’s debut collection comprises five standout models: four bags and a wallet, constructed around designs that draw on geometry, architecture and origami. Our favourite is the intriguingly elegant leather Iko clutch, available in red, grey or black. Isabel Fernández Lanza founded the brand in 2016; each bag is meticulously crafted by artisans in Madrid and each design celebrates simplicity and traditional techniques.

ne of the most exciting pursuits on a city break is discovering the brands that have come to define a destination.

Exploring the stores which have become inextricably linked with a city over the decades helps us to understand the unique charm of a place; the fashion spirit of Paris, for example, is epitomised by its luxury couture powerhouses, that of London by its bespoke tailors. In Madrid, time-honoured department stores and much-loved menswear brands sit side by side with affordable favourites that have come to be synonymous with Spanish fashion. While Zara and Mango are certainly enticing, make time for Madrid’s longstanding heritage brands and you’re sure to get the 81

most out of your international shopping adventure.

El Corte Inglés is a department store chain which took its name in 1890 from a small tailor’s shop. The company as we know it today was incorporated in 1940, after El Corte Inglés purchased its first multistorey building, a concept that later defined the brand’s retail endeavours. Fast forward 75 years and El Corte Inglés has upmarket department stores across Spain and Portugal, as well as seven Gourmet Experience food concepts and over 50 restaurants, and it owes it all to Madrid, the city which nurtured its evolution.

‘Madrid is the home of El Corte Inglés’s conception, where it established the current “sales by departments” approach inside a Above: El Corte Inglés Gourmet Experience overlooking Madrid’s Plaza del Callao

El Corte Inglés offers shop-in-shops from the crème de la crème of luxury brands department store,’ explains Javier Fernandez Andrino, international marketing and tourism director for the brand. ‘The business has grown and developed to become the group you see today.’

An essential part of El Corte Inglés’s appeal is its impressive product selection, with its branches offering shop-in-shops from the crème de la crème of luxury brands – Prada, Louis Vuitton and Cartier among them – as well as jewellery, watches and health and beauty offerings. Andrino continues, ‘If there is one thing that has characterised the department stores it’s the product variety, the chance for customers to find everything

imaginable in the same store, from the best brands in Spanish and international fashion to the latest technology releases, and all with the highest quality support and personalised assistance.’

He adds that, though a stellar product mix is certainly one of the reasons for El Corte Inglés’s success, its endurance goes beyond the items it stocks. ‘El Corte Inglés has worked from the very beginning to position itself at the forefront of customer service, with the company able to foresee changes and needs in society and incorporate the latest technology into the business,’ he says. ‘Therefore, the range, specialisation, quality and guarantee, in addition to customer

service and personalised assistance, are the beating heart of all its commercial activity.’

Casa Loewe is another must-visit on your trip to the Spanish capital. Leather specialist Loewe was founded in 1846 and today is one of the most renowned brands in the world. The stunning Casa Loewe flagship on Calle de Serrano offers an experience akin to a visit to an art gallery, with murals and sculpture set amid the stunning handbags and womenswear.

Creative director Jonathan Anderson, who joined the company in 2013, has brought the Loewe brand firmly into the 21st century during his tenure, and nowhere is that more apparent than at this captivating store.

Like El Corte Inglés, historic brand Yusty also has its origins in tailoring. José Yusty Morales opened his menswear store on Calle de Campoamor in 1914 upon completion of his training. ‘Tailored garments – suits, jackets, shirts – were highly appreciated among the Madrilenian elite back in those days,’ explains Daniel Yusty, grandson of the founder. The store’s product selection remains as refined as it always was, with the suit still forming the backbone of Yusty’s output. ‘Tailoring is in our DNA. It is from where we were born. We see the suit as a comfortable garment due to the evolution of fabrics, and a very personalised garment too, as nowadays each client can easily order his or her own jacket or suit

with their particular measurements and style.’

Yet Yusty also recognises that the more traditional menswear staples have had to metamorphose to meet the needs of the modern customer. ‘We are in constant evolution and so is the way we dress – it is a reflection of ourselves,’ he says. ‘Menswear is now more comfortable and easy, with a wide range of options depending on your lifestyle, or your mood.’ These more wearable styles are executed with the utmost panache at the Yusty boutique. ‘Madrid has always been a very elegant city, and locals generally dress very well,’ observes Yusty.

YEARS WITH A PASSION FOR LEATHER

TABLE TALK Madrid’s most recent restaurant openings include some excitingly original eateries.

Hannah Lewis rounds up her pick of the best

The Spanish capital’s vibrant, ever-evolving food scene is undoubtedly one of the key factors that brings visitors to the city.

Spanish food is one of the most famous cuisines in the world, and Madrid is home to leading restaurants offering everything from the highly traditional to the completely contemporary.

These five restaurants are some of the most talked about openings of recent months. Each offers its own interpretation of Spanish cuisine – whether taking things back to basics or incorporating foreign flavours – and each presents a dining experience you won’t forget. globalblue.com

HERMOSOS Y MALDITOS Hermosos y Malditos is the Spanish translation of The Beautiful and Damned, the F Scott Fitzgerald novel which inspired the restaurant. The menu reinterprets traditional Mediterranean cuisine, updating it with modern flavour combinations and unexpected ingredients.

Pickled mussels with crisps are a delicious spin on classic moules frites, and we love the house version of patatas bravas, a classic tapas dish. From the dÊcor to the dishes, everything is beautifully presented, making this an Instagrammer’s dream.

Hermosos y Malditos, Calle de Hermosilla 23, 28001 Madrid, +34 91 109 1441, hermososymalditosmadrid.com

BIBO The Madrid branch of BiBo is the second from this popular brasserie and tapas restaurant. The Marbella location found quick success with its welcoming atmosphere of informal luxury, as well as its unique cuisine. Chef Dani García combines elements from his Andalusian roots with inspiration

from his travels – from French and Italian touches to tastes from Japan and Peru. BiBo Madrid has already won many fans in the year since it opened; try house favourites like the spider-crab salmorejo (tomato soup) or the sharing-friendly stuffed chicken with grilled corn, and you’ll soon see why.

BiBo, Paseo de la Castellana 52, 28046 Madrid, +34 91 805 2556, grupodanigarcia.com/bibo-madrid

The concept behind Materia is to preserve and reintroduce classic flavours and ingredients, and the team here is committed to sourcing the finest produce from exemplary suppliers. Dishes are uncomplicated, letting the flavours shine out; fish and meat are brought in fresh each day from local markets. The beauty is in the detail here, from the homemade butter churned daily to the carefully curated wine menu.

We recommend the steak tartare, which is chopped, seasoned and spiced to the taste of each individual visitor. globalblue.com

MEDIA R ACIÓN Media Ración is the latest venture from chef Fernando Cuenllas, whose eponymous restaurant is already one of Madrid’s best-loved eateries. The name translates into English as ‘half-portion’, reflecting the small plates that this venue specialises in. Guests are encouraged to order multiple dishes to share, meaning every visitor has the chance to taste a variety of the delicious plates on offer. The focus is on traditional Spanish flavours; seafood dishes are a must-try, as are the classic croquetas. Be sure to save room for the cheese course.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 40: Living History Живая легенда Лучшими мадридскими брендами считаются те, что просуществовали более столетия, – рассказывает Салли Макилхоун Одним из увлекательных занятий во время путешествий может быть знакомство с местными легендарными брендами. Изучение магазинов, которые неразрывно связаны с историей города, поможет лучше понять уникальный шарм данного места; например, своей неповторимой атмосфере Париж отчасти обязан модным домам, а Лондон – местным портным. В Мадриде знаменитые универмаги и бутики мужской одежды расположены бок о бок со многими доступными брендами, ставшими символами испанской моды. И хотя для многих фаворитами остаются такие марки, как Zara и Mango, знакомство с традиционными мадридскими брендами позволит лучше ощутить местную атмосферу.

El Corte Inglés – старинная сеть универмагов, получившая свое название в 1890 году в честь небольшого ателье. Свой привычный облик компания обрела в 1940 году с покупкой первого многоэтажного здания, и это определило ход ее развития на многие годы. Спустя 75 лет сети El Corte Inglés принадлежали роскошные универмаги по всей

82

Испании и Португалии, а также семь гастрономических концептов Gourmet Experience и более 50 ресторанов. Все это благодаря Мадриду, в котором проходила эволюция бренда. «Именно в Мадриде родилась концепция универмага El Corte Inglés, подразумевающая разделение магазина на отделы, – поясняет Хавьер Фернандес Андрино, директор по маркетингу и туризму.

– Такая модель быстро завоевала успех покупателей, позволив бренду приобрести статус международной сети». Важным аспектом привлекательности El Corte Inglés является впечатляющий ассортимент товаров. Система «магазин в магазине» позволила собрать под одной крышей все сливки мира моды, включая такие бренды, как Prada, Louis Vuitton и Cartier, а также множество ювелирных, часовых globalblue.ru

и косметических марок. Андрино продолжает: «Если и можно вкратце описать наши универмаги, то это будет – разнообразие ассортимента, позволяющее посетителям, не выходя из магазина, найти практически все, что им нужно, от лучших испанских и мировых брендов до последних электронных новинок, и все это в сопровождении исключительного индивидуального обслуживания». Он также добавляет, что секрет успеха El Corte Inglés выходит далеко за пределы уникального ассортимента. «С самого начала своей работы универмаг El Corte Inglés старался ориентироваться на своих покупателей, анализировал их нужды и потребности и внедряли в бизнес последние технологии, – говорит он. – Поэтому ассортимент, специализация, качество и гарантии на ряду с обслуживанием

и индивидуальным подходом к каждому клиенту являются ключевыми аспектами коммерческой деятельности бренда».

Casa Loewe – еще один магазин, который стоит посетить во время поездки в столицу Испании. Марка Loewe, специализирующаяся на изделиях из кожи, была основана в 1846 году и на сегодняшний день является одной из самых популярных в мире. Роскошный флагманский магазин Casa Loee, расположенный на Calle de Serrano, больше напоминает галерею, где стены украшены фресками, а между стеллажами с одеждой и сумками стоят скульптуры. За время своей работы креативному директору Джонатану Андерсону удалось с успехом привести бренд в 21 век, и лучше всего это бросается в глаза при посещении великолепного флагманского бутика. Заодно здесь можно

познакомиться с последней коллекцией роскошных сумок. Подобно сети универмагов El Corte Inglés, история создания знаменитой испанской марки Yusty также связана с пошивом одежды. Хосе Юсти Моралес основал свой магазин мужской одежды на Calle de Campoamor в 1914 году, сразу после окончания обучения. «В те времена сделанная на заказ у портного одежда, будь то костюм, пиджак или рубашка, пользовалась большим спросом», – поясняет Даниэль Юсти, внук основателя. Ассортимент предлагаемой в магазине одежды, как и прежде, превосходен, а его главной составляющей остаются костюмы. «Страсть к пошиву одежды у нас в крови. Учитывая эволюцию современных тканей, сегодняшний костюм является в первую очередь удобной одеждой, которую можно сделать очень индивидуальной, благо сейчас каждый покупатель

имеет возможность без труда сделать заказ для любого размера и стиля». В то же время Юсти отмечает, насколько сильно преобразились стандарты костюма, чтобы отвечать нуждам современности. «Образ жизни людей непрестанно меняется, как и их одежда – она служит отражением нас самих, – говорит он. – Мужская одежда стала намного удобнее и проще, чем прежде, и ее выбор во многом зависит от нашей сферы деятельности или нашего настроения». Более комфортным экземплярам одежды в бутике Юсти уделяется особое внимание. «Мадрид всегда был полон элегантности, а местные жители отличались прекрасным чувством стиля», – замечает Юсти. Чтобы увезти домой немного мадридской элегантности, непременно загляните в магазин Yusty.

マドリードきっての憧れのブランド は一世紀以上の歴史を誇る。サリ ー・マキルホーンがその魅力を再発 見した。 都市探訪の楽しみの一つは、その街 を象徴するブランドを発見すること。 数十年にわたって地元と切っても切 れない関係を築いてきた店を訪ねれ ば、その街独特の魅力がわかる。例 えば、パリのファッション精神を代表 しているのは有力高級クチュールブラ ンドだし、ロンドンならば誂えのテー ラーだ。マドリードでは、スペインファ ッションの代名詞にもなったお手頃 価格の人気ブランドに並んで、老舗デ パートや長く愛されてきたメンズウェ アブランドが健在だ。ザラやマンゴは

ーマンズウェアが並ぶ中に壁画や彫 刻が配され、まるでアートギャラリー を訪ねたような気分になる。ジョナサ ン・アンダーソンがクリエイティブディ レクターに就任後、刷新されてすっか り21世紀のブランドになったロエベ。 そのことをどこよりもまざまざと見せ つけているのが、この魅力的な店舗 だ。最新コレクションは今が旬のバッ グが勢ぞろい、絶対に見逃せない。 エル・コルテ・イングレスと同じく 歴史あるブランドのユスティも、元々 はテーラーだった。修行を終えたホ セ・ユスティ・モラレスが1914年にカ ンポアモール通りにメンズウェアの店 を構えたのが始まりだ。 「スーツやジ ャケット、シャツといった仕立服が、 当時のマドリードのエリートの間でも てはやされていたのです」と、創業者 の孫ダニエル・ユスティが話してくれ た。洗練された品選びは昔ながら。今 もスーツがユスティ商品の中核を成し ている。 「テーラリングがユスティの DNAに組み込まれているんです。出 発点がテーラーですからね。ファブリ ックの進化によってスーツは快適な 衣服になったと、私たちは考えていま す。きわめてパーソナライズされた衣 服でもあります。今やクライアントは 自分の寸法やスタイルがわかってい ればジャケットやスーツを簡単に注文 できるようになりました。」 そういうユスティも、伝統的なメン ズウェアの定番を現代人のニーズに 合わせて変形させざるを得なかった ことを認めている。 「私たちは常に進 化し、自己の投影である装いも進化し ます。今どきのメンズウェアは快適で 着やすく、ライフスタイルやムードに よって幅広い選択が可能になってい ます。」ユスティのブティックでは、ウ ェアラブルで、かつ品格の高いスタイ ルを実現している。 「マドリードは昔 からとてもエレガントな都市でしたか
