Confecciones Pinedo debuts image. Generations of customers have passed through the historic establishment, opened in 1913, in search of a men's suit or a good women's garment.

«We saw that it was time to renew the image. The garage was full of graffiti, dark and the store also needed a new image, more cheerful, more colorful and more contemporary, "explains Josu Ruiz de Pinedo.

Thus, months ago they decided to contact the artist Irantzu Lekue who, after interviewing them, began to sketch what would later become the mural.

"I spoke with Josu, with Edelmira -the grandmother of the family- and with people linked to trade." Thus he began to sketch what the mural would later be.

«I wanted to give priority to the covers that are very characteristic and pictorially contribute together with typical elements that are what forge the character of the store.

They symbolize aurresku, welcome to the store in a way, "he explains.

«The truth is that I am very happy to work here, a unique store, very very special. And what would become of Vitoria - Gasteiz without places like the Alocén hat shop, La Unión or Confecciones Pinedo? » the artist asks.
