Costume design, art and passion

At Disfraces Merlín, in the Portales Market, brothers Francisco and Abraham Curiel are the only ones in the area who make mascot costumes and costumes. For them, October is a demanding month, as on average they complete between 100 and 150 deliveries. They inherited the trade from their father, Alberto Curiel, who started the business in 1985. Today, their creations are present at agencies or events such as the recent Soccer World Cup. At stall 432 of the Portales Market, the Curiel brothers are the only ones in the area who create mascot costumes and costumes throughout the year.
