Hello !

ABOUT US

 

Antiques & Boutiques was created by Lisa Richardson and Niki. Robinson, two freelance fashion designers who moved to Barcelona from London and Milan 5 years ago. With our shared love of all things antique and vintage we felt completely at home in this wonderful city with its historic mix of gothic mystery and modernist sophistication.

We have spent the past 5 years discovering and uncovering the best of Barcelona’s vintage, antiques, food and fashion and look forward to sharing our experiences with you.

LISA

Lisa is a freelance fashion designer…(with a far too big a collection of vintage clothes),  a penchant for fine wines, a love of  travel, interior design,  and a bit of beautiful, old, tatty lace.

Lisa comes from Wales so  when she not doing a tour she loves a good old walk in the mountains. When she’s not up the mountain she loves a rummage around the local flea market finding the perfect vintage outfit for the next dinner party or dress up !

NIKI

Niki is a freelance shoe designer…(with a far too big collection of shoes), a foodie, a traveller, a collector, a dreamer and a lover of vintage cars and costume dramas.

She lives in Barcelona with Joe, her boyfriend, accomplice and DJ partner. When they’re not eating their way around the world, they might be found playing some of their vinyl record collection at various events in London, Barcelona and beyond.
