Yolancris

The Value of Craftsmanship and the joy of Freedom

Yolancris is a Spanish brand specialising in the design and artisanal creation of luxury bridal, evening, and prêt-à-porter dresses. In 2005, sisters Yolanda (1978) and Cristina Pérez (1979) founded Yolancris as a new project, expanding the family business of wedding dresses that their mother, a pioneering, visionary, and entrepreneurial woman, had started in 1985. 

This is how Yolanda and Cristina began their journey in the fashion world. Based on observation and experience, they identified an opportunity to disrupt the bridal and haute couture industry by offering handmade designs that challenge traditional norms. From this innovative vision, Yolancris began operations in 2005 with the launch of its first bridal collection, inspired by the boho chic concept. In 2008, the company introduced its first evening wear collection. 

Yolancris boasts a team of highly skilled seamstresses and artisans who have been part of the company since its inception. Additionally, they manage a training school, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality, precision, and local production. This craftsmanship takes place in the company’s own workshop in Barcelona. Since mid-2018, the company has also operated a boutique showroom in the city, located at Avenida Diagonal 508, where their clients can view and order all their creations. Yolancris participates in fashion weeks in Paris, New York, and Barcelona, and is present in over 30 countries. In 2019, Yolancris made its debut in Paris with the Opera Prima collection, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s journey to establish itself as a prominent name in haute couture. This inaugural debut marked the beginning of a new chapter in the brand’s history, establishing ties with the prestigious Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. 

We remain committed to our dedication to producing refined and sophisticated works that reflect the expertise of our artisans. The quality of our facilities, attention to detail, and customisation are reflected in the brand's over 60 collections to date. 

In September 2024, Yolancris presented its first collection under the YC prêt-à-porter line at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, marking an unforgettable experience for the Yolancris team, as well as a new opportunity for professional growth and national recognition from the press and public. 

“I don’t draw inspiration from anything; I follow my intuition! We are too accustomed to looking outward, but it’s time to embark on a journey inward without fear to discover who we truly are, our true identity,” says Yolanda Pérez, Creative Director of Yolancris.
