Clothing the Pandemic

A Virtual Exhibition of COVID-19 Face Masks from Around the World

Flor de Barcelona Masks

When confronted by the pandemic, Flor de Barcelona decided to offer a new product for local users. In accordance with regulation UNE 0065/2020, the face masks are made out of 100 % cotton fabric, cultivated in Andalusia, and spun and woven in Catalonia by Cotó Roig. Their interior lining is hypoallergenic and very soft to the touch. They have a compartment for the filter. The cheerful printed designs by Molnár and Torrents aim to foster the hidden smile of both the wearer and those that see it, creating a more empathetic and less socially-distanced atmosphere. For every unit sold on the website, €1 is donated to the Arrels Foundation.
