System Action

Barcelona


Though Barcelona-founded women's label System Action has shops across northeast Spain, its design headquarters are a few blocks south of this outlet store, in a former Poblenou ice factory. You'll find sustainably produced own-design basics at reasonable prices (especially when sales are on), including sweaters, skirts, dresses, scarves and shoes.
