Description:
Aficionados of retro and all things vintage have been seeking out this goldmine since 1978, making it one of Lisbon's oldest specialist boutiques. In stock are some seriously collectable artefacts including Art Deco silverware and Vallauris French pottery. But it's the clothes that dazzle – genuine Victorian lace gowns, Electra Marro leather motorbike jackets from Germany, '60s psychedelic shirts… it's all here. Match it all up with any one of the rings, sunglasses, handbags, ties, hats or retro shoes on offer and you're guaranteed to cut a dash above the rest. But if you're still wondering what to wear, don't! Instead, check out the outstanding collection of rare vinyl LPs from around the world.
