On the first day Casa Fèlix reopened, after the toughest and most restrictive weeks of the pandemic, Antoni Alcalà had told David, who worked with him, that he didn't need to come. He expected a calm, stress-free day, an uncertain starting point for what was then called "the new normal." Shortly after opening, he had to call him to come right away. There was a line in the street, and he couldn't keep up. The haberdashery industry, along with bread, cakes—in fact, cooking in general—and DIY, was one of the most "benefitted" by the forced confinement at home. Many people took up so-called crafts: sewing, making their own clothes, stockings, cross-stitch, and so on.
