Come Window Shopping With Me in Barcelona - A Shopping Guide

I just spent a three-day weekend in Barcelona for the first time ever - and one thing I was really looking forward to was the shopping!

In case you don’t know, many places in Europe offer tax refunds of 10–14% for non-EU residents - which is amazing. On top of that, prices are often lower to begin with, so the deals get even better.

I had a full day to myself and mostly window-shopped, but I couldn’t help mentally adding a few things to my cart. Here are my favorite finds

1. Legit – Av. del Portal de l'Àngel, 23, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona

   (Left) I’ve always had a soft spot for Asics, but these?? OMG how cute are they! They’re perfect for girls who have major Pilates FOMO but still want to feel cute and feminine at the gym. The vibe says “reformer class,” even if you’re just doing weights and treadmill. Find them here

(Right) In the same store which was honestly so cute, they had an amazing selection of shoes. I spotted these burgundy ones and instantly fell in love. Find them here

2. This Massimo Dutti animal-print bag caught my eye, timeless, not trendy. The perfect everyday tote for the girl who loves a little statement moment without shouting for attention.

Find it here

Here are a few more animal prints I love!!

3. Jimmy Choo

Speaking of animal print, I saw this bag in the window and literally ran inside. The Jimmy Choo collection right now is insane. I tried to just window-shop, but… let’s be honest, that was never going to happen. I ended up treating myself to a little present

Our sales associate was SO sweet! She made us feel so welcome, offered amazing hospitality, and even opened a bottle of champagne for my boyfriend and me.

4. Back to Shoes (Because Let’s Be Real…)

How far can we really stay away from shoes? When I first saw this pair online, I thought, okay, cool cool, but when I saw them in person, my jaw dropped. They look super luxurious and are absolutely perfect for fall and winter.

   It seems like these haven’t made their way to the U.S. online stores yet - but I did spot them in a few other colors, and they’re just as good!

5. Scuffers – Carrer del Duc, 14, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona

   This brand was born in Spain and has some seriously cool street-style pieces. Most of the store is unisex, so your boyfriend won’t even need to use the “boyfriend chair” he’ll actually want to shop too.

   
   

   

6. On the same block, you’ll find EME Studio and NUDE Project, both offering amazing street-style pieces. At EME, I found the coolest bubble pants, such a great price and they qualify for the tax refund!

   
   

   

   Shop similar barrel jeans!

7. Santa Eulalia – Pg. de Gràcia, 93, L’Eixample, 08008 Barcelona

   I’m not exaggerating when I say I could write an entire article just about this store. Santa Eulalia holds so much history, and we were lucky enough to get a private tour from the store manager after he noticed me taking photos of their vintage invitations.

   It’s a three-level luxury boutique with an incredible curation of designer pieces and the cutest café inside. Even if you’re not planning to splurge, this is the perfect spot to window-shop, soak up the interiors, and get inspired by the styling and selection.

8. Chanel!! I initially went in because my sister asked me to look for blue-light glasses and that’s when I learned Chanel includes blue-light protection in all their eyewear. Naturally, my eyes quickly drifted from the glasses section to the shoes (as they so often do).

   With my birthday only a month away, my boyfriend decided to spoil me with my first Chanel pair *ahhh, screams in girlhood! * Can you guess which ones I got?

I hope this guide helps you discover a few hidden gems on your next Barcelona getaway!

Have the best time and save it for your next trip
