La Plaza de la Paja, in the heart of Madrid’s La Latina neighbourhood, is home to this shop that specialises in Spanish arts and crafts, on the site of a former tapestry workshop. It sells authentic, timeless and traditional artisan pieces, as well as a very careful selection of objects made by small producers and local designers.
The owner, Pepa Entrena, travels, searches for and selects each object she sells in this beautiful store, unique pieces with plenty of character, both modern and vintage: popular ceramics, pottery, wool blankets, embroidery, crockery, blown glass, basketry, wood, candles, carpets … as well as accessories: hats, leather, linen and wool items, bags, designer jewellery, footwear, cosmetics, etc.
From its striking blue wooden facade and its large window, you can see some of the items available for purchase in the store. Cocol is committed to providing and promoting exquisite local trade, with useful and beautiful objects for everyday use as well as exceptional artisan pieces, proposing responsible consumption and providing a platform for items made outside the usual retail and serial manufacturing circuits. As a result, it is a major name in the sector, recommended in the best guides and publications, such as The New York Times, Traveler Condé Nast, Louis Vuitton Guide, Monocle, Fodor Guides, Routard, Lonely Planet, El País, Vogue, etc.
It has also been selected and recommended by the prestigious Michelangelo Foundation for the promotion of European craftsmanship.
It has an additional space, La Trastienda, where they hold talks, workshops and other activities always related to this sector.
