Simple — Local services in Valencia

If it doesn't sound strange this shop thankfully doesn't have a corporate commercial feel - just the most wonderful bohemian vibe with beautifully made simple useful, practical and pretty things. I just wandered around touching handcrafted pieces reminiscing about when life was all just a bit easier and slower. The girl who was working just chatted away and didn't make me feel as if I had to buy anything. I could have bought the whole shop if I hadn't been flying home with just hand luggage. I would just love to own a place like this and it could only have been better if she'd had room for a little coffee shop selling good coffee and a few simple bites to eat. As someone who normally hates shopping...

I rarely ever leave bad reviews. In fact I think this is the only one. Visited here on Saturday afternoon, Sept 30th. A neat selection of gifts. However the attendant was really rude. I was interested in one of their blankets and went to feel for the quality when the attendant sternly called "don't touch, there are signs right there". I felt so stupid as I was so drawn to the blanket I had tunnel vision and hadn't seen all the passive aggressive signs throughout the entire store. Hard to know the quality of items without being allowed to touch them. Left the store feeling like I'd been told off by an uncle I just met. So...

A very cute shop in a very nice area of Valencia. The owner of Cocol, in Madrid, recommended that I visit Simple to find local, Spain-made souvenirs. Simple offered just that! The shop owner was very nice and accommodating. My boyfriend and I ended up purchasing quite a few items - handmade decorative ceramics, a woven straw purse, a beach mat, sandals, etc. I thought the prices were reasonable and am very happy with my purchases! Thank you Simple for being a highlight of my València...
