REC Igualada

REC.0 EXPERIMENTAL STORES

Rec.0 Experimental Stores is a new concept of retail. It is the transformation of an old industrial neighbourhood, called Rec (Igualada). Twice a year and during 4 days, the old factories and tanneries become pop up fashion stores where top brands sell their stocks and samples at low price.

It was born on November of 2009 by the hand of six people who were committed with Rec’s neighbourhood, and they wanted to make the quarter known and connect it with the fashion’s world.

The last edition was on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of June (Rec.011), but each edition is different from the other. It is a good chance to find top brands, such as Adidas, Mango, Desigual… at low price in a very especial atmosphere. However, it is not only fashion, but culture too. There are cultural activities like concerts, poetry reading, exhibitions, projections…
