I was like 19 years old. I Went to the Armani Boutique in Barcelona to buy a suit for my sister's wedding.
They don't let me in, and questioned me a lot and I eventually left.
I went to Gonzalo Comella at Passeig de Gràcia (It doesn't exist anymore, but was a high end clothing shop with more than a century of history).
I was treated like a king, bought a classic Armani Suit, a shirt, and also a tie and belt that wasn't in my budget.
I over spent my budget but left absolutely satisfied. When I came the next day to pick up the suit, they made me try it again to look if they fitted well, give me a coffee and pastries.
I'm not rich and possibly it would be the only Armani that I will never buy but they got a sale that the other boutique lost because judging a teenager.
