YOLANCRIS
Yolancris is a Spanish brand specializing in the artisanal design and craftsmanship of evening and bridal gowns.
In 2005, sisters Yolanda (1978) and Cristina Pérez (1979) founded Yolancris as a step forward from the family business of bridal gown production that their mother—a pioneering, visionary, and entrepreneurial woman—had established in 1985. This was how Yolanda and Cristina began their journey into the world of dressmaking. From their observation and experience, an idea was born: to revolutionize the bridal fashion and couture world by offering handcrafted designs that transcended the traditional bridal cliché.
From this revolutionary vision, Yolancris launched its first bridal collection in 2005 under the boho chic concept, followed by its first evening wear collection in 2008.
Yolancris has a team of master seamstresses and artisans who have been with the brand since its inception. These skilled hands not only create but also pass on their expertise, as Yolancris is committed to quality and meticulous local craftsmanship. The concept of “handmade” is more than just a phrase; it is a reality and the house’s philosophy. This artisanal work is carried out in the brand’s own atelier in Barcelona and, since mid-2018, also from the boutique-showroom located at Avenida Diagonal 508 in the same city.
Yolancris participates in fashion weeks in Paris, New York, and Barcelona and is present in more than 30 countries.
With a firm commitment to elevating artisanal work and securing the brand’s place in the pantheon of Haute Couture, Yolancris debuted in Paris in 2019 with the Opera Prima collection, marking its first interaction with the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
We continue to strive for exquisite, mature craftsmanship that reflects the savoir-faire of our atelier. The principles of high quality, attention to detail, and personalization are the values the brand conveys through the designs of its more than 60 collections to date.
“I don’t draw inspiration from anything; I follow my intuition. We are too used to looking outward. We must embark on an inward journey without fear to discover our true identity, our true self.” – Yolanda Pérez, Creative Director of Yolancris.
