La Casa de los Falleros

Valencia


Here’s the place to buy a traditional fallera dress or accessories (for Las Fallas), or simply see roll upon roll of embroidered, sequined cloth and racks of off-the-peg dresses. Check your credit-worthiness – a ready-made ensemble can cost well over €500, while made-to-measure starts well into four figures.
