BARCELONA - It has all the trimmings of any luxury designer bridal shop - the only difference is it is only for gay men.The shop, called By, which bills itself as the first in Europe to cater only for homosexual men, will open in Barcelona this week.
Made-to-measure suits, some inlaid with 22-carat gold, will retail for between 1,500 and 6,000.
Apart from traditional bridal suits, also on offer are a collection of rings, boxer shorts, bathrobes and other accessories by a collection of mainly Spanish designers for the big day.
It is will offer clients a tailor-made service for anything to make their weddings as special as anything which heterosexual couples might enjoy.
Owner Santiago Porrero said: "We saw there was a gap in the market for gay men though we are not only aiming for homosexuals.
"It is called By because each person can have a unique creation by one of our designers. There will only be one of these suits in the world."
The shop, in an area of Barcelona nicknamed 'Gaycelona' because of the large number of businesses which target the homosexual community, is to open on May 30.
