A tradition that begins
Opening of the Sucesores de Julio Hernández cord-making and passementerie workshop in central Valladolid.



The story of AyB Hislabor is that of a business venture that was born in 1986 as a small haberdashery wholesaler in Valladolid. Four decades on, that vision has materialised into becoming the benchmark haberdashery and trimmings company in southern Europe. Along the way, we have had the privilege of continuing a Valladolid passementerie tradition dating back to 1880.
