About us

Dressed for
real life.

I started Anguissa because I kept noticing the same gap — clothes that look good in photos but feel impractical to actually wear, or pieces so comfortable you'd never be caught wearing them outside. I wanted to close that gap.

Our story

Anguissa was founded in Barcelona by Smbat Hakhverdyan — not a corporation, not a fashion group, but one person who cared more about how clothes actually fit into a day than how they performed on a mood board. The name came from an old Catalan word for a narrow passageway — a threshold between one place and another — which felt right for a shop sitting between dressed-up and dressed-down.

"I wasn't trying to reinvent fashion. I just wanted a shop I'd genuinely enjoy browsing myself."

I spent months testing different pieces before ever opening for orders, always asking one question: would I actually reach for this again on a Wednesday morning? If the answer wasn't an immediate yes, it didn't make the cut.

What I've built is a small, considered collection — not a catalogue with hundreds of options, but a range of pieces that earn their place. It's updated seasonally, removing what no longer fits and adding things I've genuinely been excited about for a while.

How I work

Fewer pieces,
more thought.

I don't operate warehouses in Barcelona. Orders fulfil from manufacturing partners in China, which is something I'm upfront about — it's why delivery typically takes 7 to 15 days, and it's also part of how I keep prices fair without compromising on quality.

Every item in the shop has been reviewed by me before listing. I don't add things to pad out the catalogue. When a new piece drops, it's because I've been sitting on it for a while and finally decided it belongs here.

I believe the best shopping experiences are honest ones. Product pages tell you what you need to know — sizing, materials, delivery windows — so nothing comes as a surprise when your order arrives.

What to expect

Simple from start to finish.

From the moment you find something you like to the day your package arrives, I want the experience to feel honest, easy, and worth repeating.

01

A curated range

I stock what I'd wear myself — everyday basics, seasonal pieces, and the occasional something a bit more considered.

02

Easy to wear

Everything in the shop is chosen because it pairs well, travels light, and works for more than one occasion without trying too hard.

03

No surprises at checkout

Sizes, materials, and pricing are front and centre on every product page. I'd rather you know everything upfront than have questions after.

04

Honest delivery times

Orders ship from China, which takes around 7–15 days. I'd rather tell you that clearly than have you wondering where your order is.

Thank you

Glad you're
here.

Whether you've just found Anguissa or you've been shopping here for a while — thank you. This is a one-person operation, and every order genuinely matters to me.

I'll keep adding pieces I actually believe in and removing anything that no longer feels right. That's the only curation strategy I've got, and so far it's the one I'm most proud of.

If you ever have a question or something doesn't go to plan with your order, I'm easy to reach. I'd rather sort it out than have you stuck with something that doesn't work.
