Our Chiado store is OPEN !!! Check out the new opening hours.
The opening hours are as follows since the 1st of December (they may be altered according to changing circumstances; we shall keep you up to date on any changes through this website and social media).
Our newest store in Lisbon—the second one in Chiado—opened in 2016 and focuses on household products: embroideries, crockery, blankets… It is recognised for its personalised, composed and diligent service. Over the last 4 years we turned customers into friends, we established a regular customer base and we became a (even greater) reference in the neighbourhood.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce its closing on November 7—all other stores in Lisbon shall keep on operating without any changes. It was a long and difficult decision—weighed and taken calmly and rationally—to ‘resize’ the business when the entire Portuguese economy is at a critical juncture.
Given the uncertainty of the present time and of the near future we kept our most valuable asset: the people. Furniture and decoration have also been carefully stored awaiting new adventures that will surely come. All the savoir faire we acquired over time and the legacy of this location shall be put to use to improve the other stores in Chiado, Ribeira and Intendente (and naturally also the one in Porto).
A Vida Portuguesa has over 400 suppliers, the vast majority of which experiencing the harmful consequences of this crisis: both rare artisans, independent publishers or small companies whose excellency we recognise and larger companies that were finally straightening things out and starting to thrive.
“One for all” is a series of campaigns designed for our online store, which once every two weeks shall present two brands with a broad listing of its most special products found exclusively online. These companies are friends of ours, projects we admire with products we love and wish to make known, point out, help.
