New Shana store on Psg. de Gracia
I mentioned the other day that to my knowledge the only other Shana store apart from the one on Portal d'Angel was the new store they opened in Maremagnum.
Nevertheless, this weekend I accidental stumbled upon another Shana store on Passeig de Gracia 91. I believe it just opened this Monday (the 28th of March).
I have also read that next to the Shana store, a new Loewe store will be opened soon.
I have also recently found out that Shana is actually a Catalan store (headquarters based outside of Barcelona) from the company Comdipunt who also owns the Friday's project stores (the new Shana store has actually taken over the store where Friday's project were before). Shana is growing rapidly; only in the last nine months they have opened 70 stores (all franchises) and they plan on reaching 100 stores before the end of this year.
Rumours says that they are looking to expand internationally and they are negotiating franchise deals with China, Mexico, Portugal and the Middle East.

Tiffany & Co. Barcelona - new opening
Tiffany & Co. opened this week their second store in Spain on the prestigious Psg. de Gracia (where else would they be?). On November the 30th Tiffany & Co. held their opening night and on December the 1st the boutique opened for everybody.
On the opening night the entrance looked like this - as the typical blue box from Tiffany & Co. The guest list included the President of the company and one of their most important designers. Also many locally famous people attended such as Ricardo Bofill and Carmen Lomana.
The entrance is beautiful and already when you enter the door you will find an island with sparkling jewellery displayed. Unfortunately the price tags are not displayed along with them. I know it can be a bit intimidating visiting a store like this, but I had a trully nice experience entering the shop. Smiling people greeting me on my way in and out and the shop assistants immediately asked me if I needed any help - the kind of customer service you rarely find in Spain (and in other shops on Psg.de Gracia for that matter).
True, Tiffany & Co. is not known for having low prices and you will never see the sign "Sales" in one of their stores. Nevertheless, if you really want Tiffany jewellery it is not entirely out of the league for us mortals. Below I have found some more or less affordable silver jewellery. Prices found on their Spanish website by the way, it might be cheaper in the shop.
Silver earrings from the "Notes collections" - 110€
Silver ring also from the "Notes collection" - 95€
Silver medallion pendant with a small diamond, from the "Petals collection" - 190€
