Arts and crafts Porto

If you are lucky, you will meet at the entrance of Mercado 48 the mascot of the social networks of the store, "cãozinho Bala", the adorable dog that announces the atmosphere of the place: relaxed! Inside, you will find original and creative products, mostly handmade, between vintage and contemporary. Art and decoration objects, bags, wallets, t-shirts with landscapes and allusions to Porto, even humorous messages and also beautiful wooden bikes. A place that promises unusual gifts.

In 2011, when the shop was in danger of closing, Filipa and Leonor Pinto Basto saved it. Armazém Dos Linhos specializes in the sale of fabrics stamped with traditional Portuguese motifs. The managers had the idea to combine old patterns with more contemporary ones. Here you will find fabrics for all kinds of projects as well as bags, wallets, household and kitchen linen. You can bring back a nice typical souvenir with the certainty of "Made in Portugal". Stop by, especially since the welcome is warm.

After walking through the green decorated entrance, you are immersed in a fantastic universe of quality objects of Portuguese origin. Coração Alecrim is the result of Rita and Filipe's common passion for Portuguese artisans and second-hand objects. The spirit of upcycling, which recreates from existing material, is floating in the air. The two partners have created their own brand of clothing and boots, but also offer other national products. A nice store for quality and original gifts.
