It’s calçots season once more in Catalonia, which means a couple delicious months of barbequing green onions in the countryside.

A calçot is a sort of long green onion which is nice and fat in February and March – so right now! The tradition is to go to a masia, or country farmhouse restaurant where they char these onions by the ton on the BBQ, but you can get them sometimes also in restaurants.

The process of eating is a bit messy as Calçot eaters must first peel the onions (the outer layers are black and burned of the fire) and then dip them in red romesco sauce, which is very delicious and made of red pepers, almonds etc.. 

Stay in Barcelona in an apartment during Calcots season.

The brands history leads back to 1981, when a 20-year-old Swiss designer called Thomas Meyer spent his summers making T-shirts in Ibiza. He had opened a second hand shop by the port which brought a lot of tourist in contact with the brand and made it already back then known internationally. One season, Thomas Meyer had a lot of jeans left over and used them to create jackets. People started to buy them and take them back home all over Europe. After two successful seasons the collection was named Desigual in 1984, using a mould-breaking logo with two naked figures and the slogan “Desigual is not the same” created by the Spanish film director Isabel Coixet. She was working in advertising at the time and was a friend of the founder. The current logo with the inverted “s” is by designer Frederick Thomas.

The brand is about spontaneity, positive feeling and unconventional creation. It’s closely linked to an unstructured approach to life and seeing things from a new angle, hence the inversion of the “s”. The designs break with convention and try to show the bright side to life.The head office and logisitcs centre is now based in Barcelona. Thomas Meyer is still the driving force and heads up the creative team.

See Desiguals website for more details and impressions of the latest collection.
