When you pass by traditional souvenir shops in Lisbon or crafts fairs around Portugal you’ll likely always see the same images — the Barcelos roosters, Our Lady of Fatima, Saint Anthony holding baby Jesus, all surrounded by colorful ceramics… At the newer shops you’ll also find all of that, but with updated designs to meet modern tastes. One of those in Lisbon is Jimmy Portuguese Styleshop, a recently opened space found around the corner from the Bairro Alto Hotel in Chiado. Everything is 100% Portuguese but nothing like you’ve ever seen before. The usual icons are given several different colors and shapes using minimal and pop designs, and are placed next to fragrances, fashion accessories, and contemporary versions of Portuguese delicacies.
Other items stand out for their peculiar details, such as colorful handbags completely made of computer keyboard keys designed by a Portuguese artist and that’s already been featured in the American edition of Elle magazine. That is just an example of a fun gift to take for yourself or someone else, but there are other curious pieces in a wide range of prices. All Portuguese, but completely international and a lot of fun.

Address: Rua das Flores, 100
Open 10:30AM-7:30PM (closed Sundays)
