History

La Flamenca de Borgoña is the first and most demanding Spanish fashion brand . We are the first to use fashion as a communicative method to express our feelings and emotions in relation to the political and social situation that is taking place in our country, Spain. And due to this transgressive nature, Patricia Muñoz , owner of the brand, has been the target of attacks and death threats by Catalan separatists for years as a result of her creations.

The Spanish brand “La Flamenca de Borgoña” was born on October 12, 2018 after more than 9 months of work. The idea arose as a result of Patricia Muñoz becoming unemployed after being fired from the international school where she worked in Barcelona, ​​as head of marketing and director of the student residence, because of posting a photograph of herself with the flag of Spain in your personal WhatsApp. As a result, he decided to undertake and implement this magnificent project, so that everyone who wishes can wear the colors of our national flag, without fear of anything or anyone.

100% NATIONAL PRODUCTION

"La Flamenca de Borgoña" was born as a new Spanish brand of fashion and accessories for men, women and children, with high quality products, produced 100% in Spain with Spanish raw materials , so that we are collaborating with the Spanish economy , without divert the production of our designs to other countries as do other similar brands that produce in Portugal, Morocco, Italy and China. Not us, we offer high quality products, with our own design and made in Spain. We also obtain the raw material from Spanish textile and ornamentation factories. We think it is very important, and above all essential at this time, to support the national product. We must promote, consume and defend the Spanish product.

Spain has always been characterized by having factories of all kinds of products and their high quality of production. The Spain brand is internationally recognized as a prestigious, high-class, top-level brand. We Spaniards are the ones who have to start believing it, we have a great nation with great businessmen, with first-class products. But it should not stop there, in that they value it outside, we must value it ourselves, from within. Let's support the Spanish product. We are Spanish and that is a source of pride, even much more, it is an honor. And for this reason we must go with our heads held high, defend our nation and ideals.

THE NAME OF THE BRAND

The name of the brand, "La Flamenca de Borgoña" is born from the union of the culture and history of our nation.

Flamenco is a Spanish art known and recognized internationally, admired and valued, even declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco in 2010. In addition, many of our garments and accessories display the typical flamenco polka dots, ruffles or fringes, giving them that Andalusian, vibrant touch that brings us closer to this wonderful culture.

And the Cross of Burgundy has been part of our history since the 16th century, specifically since 1506, being used on the flags of Spain and on the coats of arms, and even today it continues to appear on the flags and banners of the Spanish Army and the Guard. Real. Many recognize it by the Spanish Tercios and infantry of the Hispanic Monarchy, as it was used between the 16th and early 19th centuries, and by the 1st Infantry Regiment <<Patricios>> of the Argentine Army from the early 19th century to the present. For this reason, even in these times the flag with the Burgundy Cross continues to fly in some places in the US and Latin America, such as Miami and Puerto Rico, and has even inspired the official flags of cities such as Valdivia in Chile, Chuquisaca in Bolivia, or Florida and Alabama in the US.

STYLE AND CLAIMING PRODUCTS

The style of “La Flamenca de Borgoña” is different, striking and original. The vast majority of the designs display the colors of the Spanish flag, but there are also those that display the Cross of Burgundy, or regional flags such as the Andalusian flag or the Catalan Senyera, the authentic one, eh! Not the star. After all, the objective of La Flamenca de Borgoña is for Spaniards to wear the colors of the national flag with pride, but also with style, comfort and quality.

As for the protest messages , since the end of 2018 we have already begun to launch products with clear demand messages about the current political and social situation. We want to show that it is necessary to express oneself, not to be stepped on, to say what one thinks, to complain about the situation in Spain. What will they label us as "fachas"? Yes and what? We cannot allow ourselves to be intimidated and shut up, no matter how much they attack us.
The first protest products that we launched were those from the “The Republic does not exist, Idiot” collection, with which we launched t-shirts, mugs and badges. Later we launched the collection with phrases from Judge Marchena in the Trial of the Procés against the Catalan coup leaders , also with t-shirts, mugs and badges. And later the Diada shirt, inspired by the color and typography of the shirt promoted by the ANC for the separatists. We like irony, and we cannot avoid impregnating our products with it.

Other of our products have also become vindictive products without looking for it, such as the " Fachaleco ", the swimsuit with the Spanish flag, and the Spanish flag bikinis . Simple and basic products that display our logo and the Spanish flag, but which have aroused interest in those who think that Spain should be divided and see these garments as a threat.

CURRENT HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND PROBLEMS

We are in a turbulent time in many areas, both political, social, economic and health. The brand was born on October 12, 2018, in the middle of the separatist conflict , with the coup d'état , the Trial of the Procés with Judge Marchena, the flight to other countries of the coup plotters, and in the midst of the health and economic crisis with the Pandemic for Covid19 we open our physical store in Andújar, Jaén. Specifically, in Calle Los Civiles 16 bajos.

The first two years of “La Flamenca de Borgoña” focused especially on the online store www.laflamencadeborgona.es. We tried to open a physical store in Barcelona on different occasions, but we encountered two problems, the first when the owner of the premises we wanted to rent was a separatist, since he did not want to rent us for ideological reasons, sometimes in addition to the refusal we also received insults . And the second problem occurred in the opposite situation, when the owner had no problem with our brand being products with the Spanish flag, but he was afraid of how the separatist radicals, especially the CDR, could act against his premises. .
Finally we ended up having the warehouse with a show room on the third floor in Sabadell. When this floor started to be targeted by the separatists and we feared that they might attack it, we decided to move to another floor. In this way, we saw that the possibility of having a physical store at street level in my land, Catalonia, at this time is complicated. But we do not rule out being able to open it in the future, it is one of our objectives.

Our designs have plagued us with all sorts of incidents. From being rejected by factories that have not wanted to produce our designs, not being able to rent premises in Catalonia due to having different political ideas or fear, to receiving countless attacks both on the brand and on Patricia Muñoz, who has received more than 30 threats from death, between calls, messages and social networks. They have attacked his home in Sabadell with eggs full of paint, bricks, stones, and graffiti on the sidewalk, including crosshairs, threats, and insults. He has also suffered a car chase, an assault, and the disclosure of personal information such as his address and the school his son attended.
Towards the brand we receive different types of attacks on the web, so we have had to gradually increase security on it. You also threaten to burn down our store in Sabadell.

It is surprising that the simple act of creating designs that show off the colors of the country is a reason to threaten another person with death. In other countries, wearing the national flag is a source of pride, it is respected, like in the US, Italy, France, Norway, ... then you see these separatist characters wearing those flags of other countries, but they reject their own. What a pity.

FOR ALL OF IT...

At “La Flamenca de Borgoña” we are clear that being Spanish is an honor and a privilege, and we plan to continue creating designs with which to show off our colors and vindicate the current situation.

La Flamenca de Borgoña is the trendiest Spanish fashion brand, for non-conformists.

It is the mark of those of us who are proud to be Spanish, to have our Spanish flag waving on the balcony 365 days a year, day and night, because it should not be a special date to put it up. We feel Spanish every day and we shout it from the four winds.
It is the brand for those of us who like to wear clothes with the Spanish flag, as well as in our accessories: bags, mobile phone cases, caps, backpacks, etc. Anywhere! Why not? And we wear it with pride, and even more so in front of those who want to break national unity, because being Spanish is an honor.

La Flamenca de Borgoña is a tribute to all Spaniards who, like us, fight every day to defend the unity of our great nation, and especially to those who find themselves in hostile territory, because at La Flamenca de Borgoña we know firsthand how people live in Catalonia and how the majority of Catalans who make up the Catalan resistance suffer. We are Catalan! Yeah! And we are proud to be Spanish, proud of our nation, our history, our culture, our traditions. And we are not going to allow them to be taken from us. We are "Proud of what is ours" , and we display our flag "Without fear of anything or anyone" .

The history of La Flamenca de Borgoña is the history of billions of Spaniards today.
We Spaniards can and must go with our heads held high, because our history shows that we Spaniards have the blood of brave men, heroes, fighters and great patriots.

And for all this, to proudly display our flag day after day, La Flamenca de Borgoña was born, with the aim of offering quality Spanish fashion to all Spaniards who want to display their flag with national pride, originality, elegance and distinction. Without complexes and without fear.
