Behind Barcelonines I am, Gaudys. Fashion designer since 97, specialized in making all kinds of clothing. She is the daughter of Irene, the seamstress from the neighborhood where I was born and raised surrounded by fabrics, buttons, needles and threads and with the unmistakable sound of an old sewing machine. When I was 8 years old, I started to dress my dolls with the clothes that I made for them. Hence my passion for the trade. As time went by and after having sewn everything, the idea of ​​making a rag doll came up. Such was the result that I decided to take the business of making rag dolls very seriously. Inspired by the gratitude I feel towards the city that adopted me more than 20 years ago (Barcelona, ​​Spain) and after doing a deep investigation on how women used to dress in Catalonia. I find myself with a character full of firmness and elegance and that they called very affectionately “La Pubilla”. It was only necessary to put the face of my little daughter Camila and that is when Barcelonines was born in 2013 (nines in Catalan is dolls.) The idea grew and grew until it reached the point of opening a store at street level in the emblematic Sant Pere la Ribera neighborhood, where tourists and residents could find the adorable and authentic Pubilla de Barcelona. The family grew and nowadays Barcelonines has more than 8 different models of rag dolls and their accessories to dress them, made by hand and taking care of the detail and the materials used to make them. Daniele joins this adventure to help boost the brand and give it a presence in the online arena.

Thus was born barceloninesonline.com a window always open to the possibility of having and being able to enjoy the entire collection.
