Drap, the only Spanish firm to specialise in ceremony bags, was founded by Joana Llop Beltrán in 1987. Under the name “Drap Difusión”, she started out as a sole trader, dealing with the design, production, sale and distribution of her products. But in 1991, she turned the venture into the limited company Juana Llop, S.L.
Excellent value is the priority of a firm that offers more than 50 new bag designs each season. Today it has extended its range to encompass footwear, shawls, stoles and tiaras.
As a result of the foreign contacts made at the Spanish trade fairs which Juana Llop S.L. frequented, Drap began to globalise its business in 1992. It has continued to grow ever since and its products are now sold at 2,000 multi-brand stores and through subsidiaries and agents in 47 countries all over the world. Exports currently account for 45% of its annual turnover. In order of importance, Italy, Germany, Britain, Portugal, Hong Kong and the United States are its main markets.
