"Everything in this flagship location of A Vida Portuguesa—as well as its sister outposts—is made in Portugal, but you won’t spot any flash-in-the-pan goods. Beyond patriotism, the focus here is on brands that have endured for decades or uphold tradition, whether it’s a vintage-inspired ice cream bowl, shaving cream from a circa-1920 product line, or bundle of graphite pencils made by an early-20th-century manufacturer. Founded by journalist turned entrepreneur Catarina Portas, A Vida Portuguesa spotlights craftsmanship and original packaging" - Alia Akkam
