Burgos shirt shop
Burgos shirt shop
A movie work This prestigious tailored shirt shop obtained its license in the name of Julián Pérez Burgos in 1912, although advertisements from the time show that it already existed as Camisería Burgos in 1906 at the same location
...In fact, the same place had been working as a shirt shop since 1901, called Modern Style. Camisería Burgos, also had a store in Paris for years. Santiago Olave, who began working as a cutter in the establishment, acquired both the Madrid business and the Parisian branch in 1933. Today the third generation is in charge of the shirt shop. Not only do they maintain the classic appearance of the premises (with the same lamp, shelves and wooden counter that were already used in the business at the beginning of the last century), but they also preserve the traditional craftsmanship in making their clothes. They even store each customer's patterns for future reference. His clientele over the years includes the aristocracy, the world of business, bullfighting, music and even the royal family. In addition, saying that they work "for cinema" is very appropriate in this case, since during the more than a century of operation they have made garments for artists such as Ava Gardner, Orson Welles or Cary Grant (who insisted that they embroider him on their shirts the acronym AAL of his real name), Adrien Brody, Sharon Stone or Andy Garcia.
