Hi Fiona! So glad to hear you love my site 🙂 Oh, I know exactly who you’re talking about – I can’t recall the name, but I remember unfortunately she shut production. The next closest thing would be traditional Viana embroidery perhaps – I mention a couple of stores here https://oladaniela.com/viana-do-castelo/#7_Buy_Viana_embroidery Not quite the same as her modern take, but still beautiful.

Hi Daniela, I love your site! It is so helpful. I think I saw that you included (a few years ago) a company/lady who does beautiful hand embroidered shirts(for both men and women), dresses, even bespoke shirts and a kit – colourful with hearts, flowers, words etc. I cannot seem to find the business now. Hoping you can help!

In reply to Elke Rogers. HI Elke, yes, they use for so many things. I think anywhere that sells cork bags will sell cork shoes. I'm not sure where you're based, but I know Nae uses cork in footwear. I'd try google-ing "sapatos de cortiça" (cork shoes) and see where will ship to you. Hope that helps!

I would like to know about cork. I have heard they make shoes but I don’t know where. I have a cork handbag.

Hey Joe, Thanks for your comment! I think that might be this Spanish brand, El Ganso – https://www.elganso.pt/pt_pt/men/camisas/camisa-de-linho.html I’d need to do deeper research.Not sur ethey are totally sustainable, but it seems they produce some pieces in Spain/Portugal at least.

For vegan, organic, I’ve heard amazing things about Arkhe if you want a slightly fancier meal. Senhor Uva is also great

Hi Daniela, a big thankyou for all the great brands you researched for us afficionados of Portugal. Would you know of a menswear brand with a goose logo embroidered in black, on the sea green linnen shirt. A couple just back from their holidays, him wearing the nailed-it pop-over in linnen, reported they bought it in Portugal, with the goose logo on it.
Eager to know if you’d extend your knowledge in vegan organic restaurant in Lisbon and share?

In reply to martin. I've had a quick search myself after seeing your comment and I can't find anything. I know there is some great sportswear produced here, but I'll have to dive deeper in. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything! The quality here is always better
