El Bosque animado: Tribal Faerie Wear from Spain

Read article

Above: shot of "El bosque animado" 2011 summer collection fairy tribal wear El Bosque animado is a shop specialized in handcrafted  tribal faerie wear located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. We´ve covered this genre of fantasy clothing several times, with shops like "Senjo" or "Opal Moon designs" among other, and it's indeed a very popular one, but it surprised me that this time the shop (you can find them in their official Bosque animado Blog or also primarly based in facebook  ) is heading from my own country, Spain. And it has indeed some really lovely  pieces that will please not only tribal bellydancers but also modern urban dryads and faeries that want to add to their casual clothes a touch of magic. Mostly in green, brown and ivory matching earthy tones, the items from "El bosque animado" has a lovely tribal and vintage quality, both fantasy but wearable, and of course, all handcrafted and one of a kind pieces. You can commission similar ones but there are not two that are quite the same. There´s an email to contact the crafter if you want to ask about the prices

Of course we are living in the XXI, but  that's no reason you can be wearing actual dresses with a fairy, cyber or gothic edge that sill keeps a magic that distinguish the most daring ones that decide not to .
