Encanto Barcelona

I love the selections of clothes; colorful, trendy, and unique and the price is very reasonable. After browsing rows of clothing stores that sell dark colors, I finally found colors from this store! The owner was friendly and very knowledgable about cut for women. I have a pear shape body which is very difficult for me to find clothes that flatter me. So I end up always wearing drab clothing that are loose to accomodate the weirdness of my body shape. The owner helped me picked up few clothes that he knew they would fit my body. He was right, I was extremely satisfied with his choices and I didn’t look blah.

What I really adore about this store is that the selection they carry is really fluid, always changing, constantly bringing in new and amazing apparel. Encanto carries Sita Murt — Spanish brand that creates incredible modern, yet with a distant victorianesque tint women’s clothing. I love it dearly. During winter times, Encanto usually sells Preloved — Toronto-​based brand, that blends secondhand materials with new ones, creating absolutely amazing one-​of-​a-​kind sweaters. There are other brands, of course — Alternative Apparel, Desigual (awesome funky styles), Replay, Erin Brinie, SkunkFunk (my dress is so fabulous! I’m jealous of myself), Fluxus, Paramita (you’ve got to check out their online store! too bad they do not deliver to US), Cohesive, Demano, RuMe, Tankus, Mystree, Pixie Dust, Factory Brand, Freeway, Sublimationland, Tulle, YA, Potluck Paris and many more. Let’s face it, the owner of this store has a wonderful taste, does all the fashion hunting for you and brings it all in one place!
The Men’s section is getting smaller and smaller, being pushed back by the variety of the Women’s selection. But it’s still substantial enough to distract your partner and pretend you go shopping there for both of you and it’s all fair n’ square.
The staff are extremely pleasant people. They know a lot about the brands they carry and always helpful with useful fashion tips.

Every time I pass by Seattle I always come by this place after going to the Pike Market (how I miss the green green grass smell and fresh scent of tranquility.)
Encanto Barcelona’s selection of clothes is fairly different from anything else you see at a local clothing store because they are all European imports and you know it would be seldom that you see someone else wearing similar design as you!
My favourite is no doubt Desigual, a colourful brand that brings out the lively, bubbly, sunny, spirit free, at times loud, and sometimes wild of your inner self. And the material is also very good (mostly cotton with a bit of spandex to keep the elasticity and shape.)
And because they fit Europeans, they are more tight fitting and also fit smaller (thank God I am able to fit in their size small and sometimes XS)
They also carry a great selection of belts and bags. People would give you a fresh /​appreciating look when you shop here.
Their website does not have as many pictures so subscribe to their newsletter and you will get a much better view of what they have to offer (they send lots of attachments of new arrivals.) They also do shipping which is perfect for me as I don’t live quite far away from there now.

Wow! This place is much more reasonable than I thought! I was expecting $$$ price tags and instead I walked out with a fantastic asymmetrical sweater for about $ 50. Granted, a lot of the items are a bit more than that, but they’re most are still moderately priced and super stylish to boot!
We walked in here yesterday afternoon b/​c I’d seen said sweater in the window and was intrigued. I’m also a fan of their men’s product, which also drew us in. There’s some very cool stuff for the guys and gals in this store.
A lot of the items are a bit faster than things I’d normally wear (hey, it’s all stuff from Barcelona– they’re a fashion forward bunch!), but it’s all merchandised so beautifully in this perfect little space I’ll be back from time to time to see what I can find.
I found the staff friendly and helpful as they offered up some really great advice in accessorizing my new top. I will totally keep this in mind as I shop for a little something to go with my new purchase.
Stop in and check them out. Definitely a ‘must’ if you’re searching for ‘fashion forward’ in Seattle.

I love the clothes here, and when you get something on sale, it’s even better.
The service is also really good. I don’t shop here every day, but when I need a special item, they always have something cool. Most of the time, I walk in not looking for anything in particular and I always find things I like.
If you’re on their mailing list, they’ll send you emails with pictures when new shipments arrive-​a nice way to get a preview before you go in!

Encanto is one of three or four stores in the US that sells Desigual, a Spanish clothing line that I first discovered at Galeries Lafayette in Paris. The shop is a labor of love owned by a husband and wife who make frequent trips to Spain for fashion that runs more eclectic than your usual American fare. I’ve always received great service from the husband and wife, along with their small staff. The clothes are purchased in small numbers, which is important for those folk who don’t like seeing the same shirt on everyone else.

A great shop run by some really nice people.
The clothes selection tends to european fashion, which means you’ll be hip but a little different when going out.

It’s hard to find stores that sell cool clothing for guys. This store started with just women’s but now they have a pretty nice selection for guys. Everything is from Europe, the fit is awesome.

Okay, so I’m not a fashion horse (or whatever you call people who are up to date on clothes…) I worked really hard this past christmas season and I got a little bonus ($ 100.00) so I figured what the heck? I’ll go buy a nice new sweater. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE spent $ 100 on one piece of clothing… heck I don’t think I’ve spent that much on a entire outfit~~~!
This little shop opened up in my neighborhood last year, and I always wanted to check it out. They carry Spanish clothes for women and then added mens clothes this last summer. I’ve walked past their shop hundreds of times and always see differnet clothes in the windows. Some of them looked interesting to me. I just didn’t know if they had anything that would fit who I was.
But when I walked into this store, and got over the techno music, I asked to see if they had anything that would look good on me. The folks who work there are a husband and wife team and they look good in anything (or nothing) but they didn’t try to push me in one way or another. They picked out three things for me to try and, after I tried them on, they both agreed that I looked the best in the ‘blueish’ sweater. It was not the most expensive thing in the store (it was even on sale) and they said that it would be the best fit for me. So I took a leap of faith and bought it. I have worn it once a week since then. EVERYTIME I wear it I get a least one person complementing (see I can’t even spell it cuz it never happens to me) on the sweater. They always ask me where I got it and I proudly say it was at Encnato Barcelona~~~!
So if you want to treat yourself (or someone else) to a shirt or pants or jacket that will really stand out, I would say go here. They carry a whole buncha skirts and tops that I would love to see on some gals I know, but I ain’t gonna buy them unless I get second date outta the deal.
This is a shop for women clothes, shoes and handbags. They have a little bit for us guys and they told me that they will have even more for men this spring. When I get my next bonus I’ll be back for a jacket.
If you go, tell them Brian sent ya~~~!
