DRACS x IAIOS

Dracs, our store 

A very beautiful building made with exposed work inspired by the textile factories of the 20th century

BUILDING CONSTRUCTED WITH PROXIMITY MATERIALS

This building was built in 1990, inspired by old textile factories. 80% of the materials used in construction are from our region. Thus, for example, the work seen on the walls is from a Lliçà bovila and the floor is made by Mosaics Bachs from Granollers.

CLOSURE OF THE ORIGINAL STORE

DRACS was initially a clothing store and had a cultural space where activities for young people were held. In 2008 it had to close for several reasons, including the emergence of multinationals in the city and the closure of the cultural space (following a complaint).

REOPENING

The building remained closed for years until 2016, when we decided to reopen the doors of this beautiful building in the city. The idea was to open a different store, which would bring together designer, local and quality products. And said and done: everything you will find at DRACS are products with a beautiful story behind them, small projects but with soul and values, and all of them manufactured in the Iberian Peninsula.

The proposal was a success. DRACS has been awarded the best commercial initiative in Catalonia in 2017 and today receives visitors from all over Catalonia who come to buy valuable products or simply to be curious.

SCHOOL OF CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION

At Dracs we can only find products with social and ecological responsibility. But they also all have great design, artisanal or traditional value. All of them have been delicately chosen for their values ​​and the history behind them. This is why entering Dracs is like entering an exhibition of products with soul, with beautiful stories that are worth knowing. We invite you to visit the store and ask us about the history of our products. We will explain all the details and curiosities to you. At the end of the day, DRACS, more than a store, is a school for conscious consumption.

SCHOOL OF LIFE

On the upper floor we have a space we call School of Life where we carry out activities, workshops and courses of all kinds. And at the top we have the IAIOS studio, a wonderful space where we work, design and meet to work on our sweaters.

COMMITMENT

At DRACS we offset the energy consumed with 3 solar trackers installed in the Navés Photovoltaic Park. In addition, 90% of the industrialists, professionals and service companies we work with are from the region.
