SIMPLE TIENDA: The local ‘Made in Spain’ store advocating the authenticity and durability of storytelling objects
Simple is the kind of store we would like to be told about when we travel to another city. It is the kind of store where you simply cannot choose what to bring with you, marvelling at all the options it offers.
Simple, honest, timeless objects, each with a story to tell – this is what you will find when you visit Simple, a small local shop located within Carmen de Valencia neighbourhood that opts for showcasing small, traditional and family-owned brands. All made in Spain.
Swallows from the 50s, wicker baskets, handmade scarves, pita bags, pottery and ceramic pieces, traditional games, typical sweets and an endless list of original pieces are just a few examples of everything that can be found there.
This is a place that brings you back to the roots of simplicity and honesty, romantically embracing the idea of a human-scale business away from large monopolies, supporting small family tradition brands that create with their own honest, committed hands, and thus, contributing to a real economy.
Simple is the appreciation for the timelessness and simplicity of products, away from the passing and ephemeral, searching for a lasting base. Bringing us back to a previous state where values played a primary role, without stagnating in nostalgia, but evolving naturally over time through collaborations with young creators.
With its unique spirit, Simple Tienda is more than a gift, it is a gesture of appreciation towards your loved ones and yourself. STAYINGVALENCIA positions itself alongside local brands that share the values of sustainability and a slow life philosophy, promoting a more conscious and committed way of life, and searching for the essence of things by delving into their origin and history.
