I have always liked this type of clothing and moda, so if we rode a business had to be this…We love that dig into the closets of our mothers and grandmothers,or go to flea markets in search of treasure.

– ¿That symbolizes Oh Oh July? ¿Why that name and that image?

We really like the Spanish yeyé! “Oh, Oh, July” it was our song one summer and we thought it could be a nice name for a store like ours, then we wanted to give it an even more naive touch by choosing as an image a doll like the one in the “Esther “ by Purita Campos,which christened "July" With that idea designer Vanesa Zafra made this logo so nice .

If they exist, because they are the same fashion trends in general and they always look to the past. Suddenly it “becomes fashionable” one time or another…

For the selection of garments we rely so much on current trends and our personal tastes. Since the clothes until it reaches the store is a process that takes time choose, because first we wash and ironed and then there are some items that require special care or go through the sewing workshop. He thinks there are things that can have fifty years!
