Goodbye to Pili Carrera, the favorite Galician children's fashion firm of the little Royals

La firma de moda infantil Pili Carrera echa el cierre definitivo, para disgusto de las casas reales, que consideraban a esta marca española la favorita para vestir a sus pequeños príncipes y princesas.

It had suffered economic difficulties for years.In fact, in 2018 they exceeded a creditors contest by adjusting the number of stores and reducing the template.But Covid 19 has targeted the experienced recovery, and yesterday the definitive closure of Pili Carrera was communicated.The situation is so unsustainable that sources from the Company Committee highlight that they have no liquidity or to pay the February payrolls of their workers."We had a time of agony.The company's situation was weak and the wave finished it ”, they express.

Pili Carrera was created in 1963 by María del Pilar Rodríguez and her husband, Welcome Carrera.She was pregnant and did not have the money left over, so she began to make clothes for the baby she waited with a sausage machine from her mother -in -law.

In 1991 they opened their first store in Vigo.Thus began the dream of a family business that until today led Salomé Rodríguez, the daughter of the founders.An empire that came to have a presence in sixteen countries of the world and add more than 800 points of sale between own and multi -brand stores.

But if this Galician brand has highlighted something, it is for having been the favorite of the royal houses to dress special times to the children of the family.Leonor and Sofia almost always dressed as a pili career in official acts until they fulfilled an age in which more youth fashion was chosen according to their age.

Máxima de Holland also chose the Galician fashion house to dress their daughters in the coronation of King Guillermo.After receiving a catalog with the last collection he was in love and made the commission, which he paid religiously, by the way.This fact served to catapult Pili Carrera to international fame, who have always been very grateful to the Dutch queen.Then he loyalty as a client, wearing her daughters of Pili Carrera on other occasions, for example, on Amalia's 11th birthday, the throne heiress.

Mary also from Denmark has opted for models of the Galician house for her three children: Isabella, Josephine and Vicent, as well as Victoria de Sweden did the same with Estella and Oscar, or the kings of Bután on the birthday of her first child Gyasley.

A sad goodbye to a Spanish brand that will go down in history for being the favorite of royalty, although from Pili Carrera they took importance to this fact, claiming that they wore any child and that they are all kings of their houses.
