In Seville, you’ll discover an extensive network of stores where you can buy costumes and accessories linked to the world of flamenco, made with the same care and dedication as they were centuries ago.
Did you know that the flamenco dress is the only regional clothing that evolves according to fashion? It is, so to speak, a folk costume that doesn’t renounce glamor, and every year is renewed with the contributions of excellent designers from the flamenco fashion industry. The combination, you’ll see, is absolutely irresistible.
Many people come from all over the world to acquire these costumes and wear them at traditional parties or on special occasions. The general opinion is that the flamenco dress, with its sophistication, visibility, and silhouette, shines like few other dresses can.
The accessories, made to enhance the dress, also have these qualities: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, shawls, shoes, flowers, combs, etc.

This singular fashion contest, unique in the world, marks the trend for the dresses that will be worn on the popular and spontaneous footbridge of the Feria de Abril in Seville.
