Small Shop with Charm |
Jorge Juan 13 Madrid 28001 Spain +34 91 781 07 81 |
First impression: not much space! A corridor connects two rooms; the first one, as you enter the shop, has men's clothing, and in the other one, you can find women's clothing. Something that makes Week End so special, apart from the nice treat you'll receive, is the quality of the clothes and shoes they sell. But be careful, with quality comes high prices! Week End exclusively offers Ralph Lauren and Faconable articles. The good news is that you will have the chance to buy at very good prices during July-August bargains period. You'll make out with a 30% or even a 50% of discount. - Angeles Fernandez Review © 2007, Wcities |
