A superb shop dealing mainly in mantones de Manila . These embroidered, brightly coloured silk shawls originated in China and found their way to Spain via the Philippines. They gained popularity in 19th-century Seville when the working girls of the tobacco factories wore them. Also sells fans and mantillas , the traditional black lace headdress still worn on formal occasions (see Casa Jiménez).
