The independent workshops and boutiques that once thrived in El Born are disappearing thanks to gentrification—but among the survivors stands Cuirum, a killer shop where you can buy handmade leather jackets, bags, and accessories that will last decades. Choose from classic brown and black pieces, or go for leather dyed a bright color like turquoise or magenta. Customers especially love the personalized belts: Pick the length, width, color, and buckle, and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind wardrobe staple in three hours. If you’re the artistic type, you can even draw a pattern and have them incorporate it.
