Nac Madrid is a luminous shop that offers several different brands of high-end footwear and clothing – brands that may be a bit hard to come by in Spain, like Stuart Weitzman, Poe, Scotch & Soda, Otto D’ame and Sonia Rykiel. The shopping experience is relaxing, as the stores are airy and bright and perfectly organized. There are a few different locations in Madrid, but the one on Génova is large and well-stocked.

The 2nd Room is the ideal spot to shop when you need that special occasion one-of-a-kind piece, like a dress or coat. While most of the items in the store are second-hand, they’re still good as new – and for a third of the price. Expect to find brands like Balmain, Fendi, Jimmy Choo, Armani, Gucci and many more. The shop also carries exclusive pieces from designer F de Frank and – coming soon – their own line of special occasion dresses. Shopping here is a very personalized experience, as the owner, Mariele Isidoro, who has an excellent sense of style, is usually around to help you find the perfect garment.

Dolores Promesas started with a young girl in the south of Spain who found herself lost in Madrid. Many years later, after printing her iconic image (a girl’s face with short hair and a flower) on a t-shirt, she now has several shops open in the city. The clothing is whimsical and fun, with prints and florals and trendy items at mid-range prices. Her image is still printed on some of the apparel. Shopping here is fun and exciting, and you’ll arrive back home with a trendy new outfit to boot.

Sita Murt is an iconic Spanish brand which is famous for their knitwear, among other things like cool leather jackets, wide-leg pants and suede booties. The brand, which describes itself as “natural chic,” is just that: clothes that are on trend, but not overdone. There are several shops located in Barcelona and Valencia, and of course, the flagship Madrid store.

Created by twin brothers Iñaki and Aitor Muñoz, Ailanto actually got its start in Barcelona, but luckily, you can shop here in Madrid. Madrid’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is also the site of the Ailanto runway show twice a year. The brand is known for its patterns and geometric references on their garments. If you’re in the market for a wedding dress, Ailanto is a great place to look for something unique to wear on your special day.

Miss García, created by designer Elena García, wanted to make a line of footwear that would create “envyation” – a combination of envy and admiration. Her shop on Calle Serrano sells footwear for not only women, but children as well, making sure your kids will be outfitted with the coolest shoes ever. Although they do offer sensible flats, this is the shop you visit when you need that killer pair of heels.
