Bon Vent is a family project located in Barcelona’s Born district.
Our shops are nestled in the old maritime quarter of La Ribera. Argenteria Street, in particular, carries the legacy of the ancient guild of silversmiths and jewellers who once occupied this very street.
Bon Vent was founded with the aim of highlighting the diverse facets of Mediterranean culture’s identity. The light, the landscape, and the lifestyle of this region are incredibly rich and full of inspiration. We wanted to create a universe of beautiful, well-made, and timeless objects that would evoke in those who enjoy them a sense of recognising a piece of this culture in every item.
We’ve always loved combining design with local commerce. The combination of a background in industrial design and jewellery, alongside a family tradition of generations dedicated to retail, has brought us to this point. We truly enjoy the perspective of life behind a counter and the vibrant hustle and bustle of the shop with its constant stream of customers.
Our goal is to conceive pieces that truly move our customers.
After several years dedicated to fashion, in 2014 we decided to embark on this new venture, where we blend the design of our own collection with pieces we select from other artists and artisans.
The result is a delightful mix of everything we love: a selection of antique pieces that converse with unique objects, home accessories, jewellery, and organic cosmetics.
The main pillar is our commitment to the local area/region (territory). This is a very deep-rooted idea that encompasses different aspects such as sustainability, respect, and humility.
This isn’t just reflected in our products, but also in our business model, which strives to be more honest, both with our collaborators and with our customers.
After working for many years in the fashion sector, we discovered the pitfalls of an unsustainable system. For this reason, we decided to start from scratch, writing new rules of the game.
We do away with seasonal collections and aggressive sales campaigns. Instead, we offer genuine products that stand the test of time and come with a fair price for their quality.
