Amapola Vegan Shop

Barcelona


A shop with a heart of gold, Amapola proves that you need not toss your ethics aside in the quest for stylish clothing and accessories. You'll find sleek leather alternatives for wallets, handbags, messenger bags, belts and boots by Matt & Nat, and elegant vegan scarves by Barts. Pieces are hand-picked by owner Raquel and many are locally made.

Other finds: socks made from bamboo, soft but wool-free gloves, and cheeky T-shirts with slogans like No como mis amigos ('I don't eat my friends'). Morrissey (a lifelong animal-rights advocate) plays overhead.
