With a pinch of courageous transgression that never hurts, Paloma Barceló was born about ten years ago thanks to the creative flair of Manuel Barceló Martìnez, son of art as far as the footwear sector is concerned. In fact, father Manolo Barceló was the founder of the shoe factory COSI-COSI Footwear Srl, a company that was entrusted with the production of shoes for some of the most sought-after brands in high fashion, such as Jimmy Choo, Chloé, Céline and Stella McCartney. A precious experience to be poured into the creation of a new brand, whose focus would be wedges and espadrilles made with exclusive attention to shape . For some years the creative intentions of the brand have focused on Palomitas by Paloma Barceló, a young line characterized by an attractive and less eccentric design, focused not so much on the production of unique pieces but on passe-par-tout shoes with high quality Made in Spain. The Paloma Barceló lines never stop introducing interesting innovations and new shapes through which to present the concept of sculptural volume dear to the design of the Spanish brand, in a truly fascinating mix between rusticity and modernism.
