The arrival of cold weather announces one of the best moments of the year: the Three Wise Men's parade! Seeing the excited faces of the little ones is priceless. And it fills our hearts to know that we are part of that magic with our fabrics.
That's why today we have analysed their fabrics and carriages, to try to guess what their majesties will surprise us with this year.

How do the Three Wise Men dress?
The Three Wise Men's parades are celebrated in Spain every 5th January, on the eve of Three Kings' Day. This tradition has its origins in the arrival of the Three Wise Men from the East to adore the baby Jesus. The celebration consists of a parade through the streets of towns and villages, where the Three Wise Men hand out sweets and gifts to the children.
During the parade, the Three Wise Men are dressed in colourful and elegant costumes. Melchior wears a red tunic and a white beard, Gaspar wears a green tunic and Balthazar wears a purple tunic. In addition, each wears a crown on his head and rides in a decorated carriage or chariot, accompanied by pages and attendants.
True to tradition, we are likely to see similar styles this year:
