Welcome to Wanda Core – a dreamy, deconstructed vintage archive.

Formerly known as Adult World Shop, Wanda Core began as a small personal experiment shortly after I moved from Barcelona to Brussels. At the time, my passion for vintage and second-hand clothing was already thriving. The vintage scene in Spain wasn’t as developed as in other European countries, so the move gave me easier access to the flea markets I loved — the same ones I used to visit every summer as a teenager to refresh my wardrobe.

In April 2014, I decided to share this love beyond borders. I began selling online, driven by the desire to show the world the gem-like garments hiding in European markets. It started with pieces I loved but couldn’t wear myself — wrong size, right vibe. Slowly, it evolved into something more intentional: a curated collection of everything that caught my eye and felt too special to leave behind.

Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to the aesthetics of Japan — manga, anime, Harajuku street fashion — and iconic cult publications like Fruits Magazine. These influences guide my curatorial instinct: I seek bold, playful, offbeat pieces that blend comfort with spectacle, ready to wear for everyday rebellion or a late-night rave.

After returning to sunny Barcelona in the winter of 2020, I turned this passion into a full-time job — and naturally, Wanda Core began to evolve into something even more intentional.

Wanda Core is not an algorithm. This store is the result of hours spent hunting, cleaning, styling, and caring for each piece. Every garment is handpicked from across Europe – spanning the 1960s to the early 2000s – and chosen not for labels, but for attitude. Quality unbranded rarities. We believe in giving clothes a second life before they’re lost, continuing their circular journey with new souls who see their worth. 

Thank you for supporting this project with intention. When you invest in Wanda Core, you’re investing in the work of someone who believes that another way of dressing – and living – is possible. 

You’ll always find me seeking out editorial-worthy pieces full of personality and edge — bringing vintage nostalgia for dissident souls, collectible prêt-à-porter, and fashion curated through rarity.

We hope you enjoy this journey as much as we are!
