In 'Estimada clientela', Mercedes Cebrián reflects on the significance of the shopping experience in our lives. Blending essay and chronicle, the author analyzes the daily rituals of consumption—from trying on clothes to the ceremony of sales—with humor and nostalgia. The book serves as an atlas of the commercial landscape, ranging from international department stores to local neighborhood shops.
This work is a tribute to shops as spaces of social connection and to the intimate and collective memory we build through our belongings. With a sharp and tender gaze, Cebrián explores how shopping is, in essence, a way of belonging to the world, drawing on literary and cinematic references that enrich this cabinet of curiosities about our civilization and culture.
