SINCE 1895 Old wooden shelves and a thousand and one boxes It was in 1895 when Ventura Espinosa founded a business dedicated to a haberdashery store on Noviciado street in the Malasaña neighborhood, in the same location that has survived to this day. The original owner would remain in charge of the business for more than a decade, until 1907, the date on which his son, Julián Espinosa, would take over the store, declaring when applying for the license that "the same industry continued without alteration." And so it would be for another decade, until in 1918 Bernardo Cerezo transferred the haberdashery to the Espinosa family and remained there for more than half a century. In 1973 he would come to take over the reins of the Claudio Ibáñez store, whose wife, Victoria (who gives the haberdashery its name), had started working with the previous owner a few months before he left her, in order to learn the ins and outs of the business. The children of Claudio Ibáñez took over the establishment when their parents retired at the end of the twentieth century, continuing with this classic haberdashery that, in addition to the usual items (thread, buttons, needles, scissors, etc.) offers corsetry, lingerie, school and work clothes.
