José Luis – Carmina, real shoemakers
We have almost everything in Lisbon. And even if we didn’t, I wouldn’t be missing most of the ultra premium brands that opened a store here in recent years. I always have a soft spot for handmade pieces, those pieces that are not caught by the globalization effects. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge supporter of globalization (and I love reminding those people that supposedly hate it how benefited they are by it), but while the probabilities of finding what I’m wearing being worn by other people remain low I’ll be thanking the destiny.
If there are areas where the technological advances provide us daily joys and push everything that was done before to the utmost obsoleteness, classic footwear is not necessarily one of them. At Carmina, besides having a highly professional and charming staff, you can find amazing shoes created using the most traditional methods and by the best craftsmen. With or without seams, with shoelaces, tongues, one color, two colors, for men or women. They're beautiful, but not exactly cheap. But now, with sales season full on, most of them are more accessible. With 6 stores, three in Madrid and one in Bilbao, Palma de Mallorca and Paris, those close encounters with faithful reproductions of what we're wearing won’t be very likely. As I was saying earlier, we have almost everything in Lisbon, but it wouldn’t do us any harm if we had a Carmina store

Marcela, Marcela’s dress and Fabrico Infinito
I had gone through the place thousands of times, but I only just looked. No doubt it was nice and sophisticated but it had never raised enough curiosity for me to get in. You see, in my opinion, the best and most unusual is back there in the garden. It doesn’t even feel like Lisbon!! The air is different there. When I arrived in the garden I looked at the swing and the slide (both pieces worth being in a museum) and I realized that no matter the city in the world where you are, I would always be amazed by finding such a place. And when I tried to find an adjective for all that was before my eyes, someone finished my sentence and said “it’s magical”. I felt slightly bothered for showing my astonishment with the place so openly, so I reluctantly shrugged my shoulders and said:
- Yeah…it’s indeed magical…
And it really is. My luck that Marcela, the owner of Fabrico Infinito, rhymes with the place. As for me... well, I just got another beautiful vision on my blog
