A long process that starts in the Fallas commissions themselves, first, to decide who will be presented to the pre-sector, if the fallera more outgoing because you have to look good with which he has presided Falleros events during the year or any other fallera of the committee.


DRESSED IN MILLIONS

The most luxurious fallera suits, which look like the larger Fallas in Valencia and commissions, can cost more than € 12,000. These high prices are due on the one hand, the cost of material, high quality, embroidered by hand, and on the other hand the ornaments, in gold and with very elaborate designs.

The suit maintained that the current falleros has a long tradition in history. Appeared in the sixteenth century and began as a working dress of Valencian farmers, but over time became transformed and led to a more elegant dress that was used on special occasions. In short, the suit is the current fallera dress party wearing the Valencian centuries ago.

The quality of fabric and complexity of them, purely handmade, which makes the suit fallera currently costs a minimum of 900 euros. It is difficult to put a ceiling price, because the cloth can reach astronomical prices. For example, one of the most sought after fabrics, the espolín, typically costs between € 400 and 1400 meter.
