And that's exactly what you take when you leave this boutique on Rue Gambetta in Saint-Jean-de-Luz: a smile, and often a unique creation in your bag.

Irribarrea celebrates 20 local designers and artisans, gathered under one sign.
Jewellery, decorative objects, accessories: each piece was designed, crafted and handcrafted, with passion and know-how.
The principle is clear and assumed, the shop claims it itself: here, no drop-shipping, only authenticity.

Consume otherwise in Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
