The classic and functional style where scarves and long coats take center stage blends with youthful comfort thanks to the great university atmosphere. But Salamanca is much more when we talk about its position in the fashion industry.
In addition to pioneering local shops offering inclusive options that exceed size 50, adapting women’s fashion to all body types, Salamanca is much stronger in brands of filigree jewelry—an artisanal goldsmithing technique—and crafts than in independent clothing brands. And these are the best examples.
A look by Fely Campo.
Fely Campo
Fely Campo was founded in Salamanca as a women’s fashion brand in 1997. Specializing in party and wedding collections, the brand has become a reference in the sector, both within and beyond our borders thanks to its commitment to quality and timeless design. The raison d’être of Fely Campo is to create pieces that seek elegance and endure over time. Pieces that think of the woman above all, pieces that when a woman wears them and looks in the mirror she feels pretty, she feels confident.
