L’ Arca
In the Barri Gòtic, along Banys Nous and Baixada de Santa Eulàlia, there are several establishments. One of them is L’Arca, led by Nina Balmes and Carmina Pairet, the fifth generation of a line of antique dealers. But these sisters have never dedicated themselves to furniture but to textiles, they started with household clothes to end up specializing in bridal and vintage. So much so that they have become a point of reference for those who love the aesthetics of the 20s, 30s and 40s, either with originals or with quality replicas. A spectacular renovation of the space, where a stone arch from the 16th century shines and coincides with the new direction of L’ Arca.
