Our story
A project born in Ribeira
Portosigns, with Shop 1 and Shop 2 in Ribeira, Porto, grew out of a project born from unemployment, which has grown and matured with Portuguese and international tourism since 2006.
It has always worked side by side with new makers, showing, promoting and selling handcrafted, artistic and cultural pieces from Porto and Portugal. They are still what defines the quality and variety of our products.
We show, promote and sell handcrafted, artistic and cultural pieces from Porto and Portugal.
Handmade
Authentic crafts from Portuguese makers and brands.

Local Guide A truly amazing shop, with beautiful, exclusive souvenirs! Much better than the ordinary souvenir shops you find on every street. And the staff are super friendly!
Translated (original in Dutch)Local Guide When I was in Porto, I bought a lovely apron in this shop for my mother's birthday. They sell local brands. Unfortunately, back home in Belgium, I noticed the apron's neck strap was missing and contacted the shop without much hope, just to let them know. The shop offered to post me the missing piece and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for going to such lengths for your customers, for the help and the great service. My mother loved the apron and can finally wear it while she cooks. Thank you, Portosigns!
Translated (original in English)What a fantastic shop in Porto, with dream service!
We found some beautiful Portuguese ceramics, among other fabulous things, in this charming little shop and asked for them to be shipped to the UK. It was no problem at all, and we were confident the boxes would arrive after we got home.
Everything went well and the ceramics arrived as promised. Unfortunately one small plate was broken, but they sent a replacement twice without any questions, and now we have a complete set we could never buy anywhere in the UK. More wonderful memories of Porto — thank you so much to all the fantastic, helpful staff.Translated (original in English)Local Guide The staff are very friendly and the product selection is tasteful.
It has the feel of a sophisticated shop.Translated (original in Japanese)Local Guide A very pleasant shop among the noisy, colourful souvenir shops. Friendly, helpful service. We could communicate in English without any problem. We bought a beautiful ceramic plate with the typical blue pattern. Highly recommended.
Translated (original in German)Local Guide This shop has the most beautiful ceramics in Porto. I have never seen these designs anywhere else. The lovely lady packed everything very carefully. Well worth a visit.

This shop was charming, with a great selection of Portuguese souvenirs. The staff gave personal, attentive service and shared stories about the history of Japan and Portugal. I would love to come back!
Translated (original in Japanese)I loved so many things in this shop — and I'm not even a shopper! They had wonderful everyday products that reminded me of my great stay in Portugal. The quality and variety were excellent too. Marta was especially kind, helpful, patient, honest and attentive! I highly recommend a visit.
Translated (original in English)Local Guide If you want to buy special souvenirs made in Portugal, you have to go here. They have a great selection of good-quality products and the staff are very helpful. They take the time to explain everything, and it is hard to choose because EVERY little thing is simply beautiful. Plus, supporting local businesses really matters!
Translated (original in English)I carelessly left my driving licence on the counter when I bought a hat from the lovely Mathilde. I only noticed a day or two later, and found out it would not be easy to replace. Luckily a guardian angel was looking out for me — and, by coincidence, her name was also Mathilde. Thanks to her, Elvira and Vânia, I can still drive here. The products are great, but it is the people who make this shop what it is. Thank you so much, ladies. I couldn't have done it without you, and you saved me a lot of trouble. I confess I hoped the lost licence would lead me to my future wife. Maybe next time...
Translated (original in English)Local Guide Beautiful items, and some unique pieces we didn't see in other shops. A very well organised, impeccably curated shop, and the owner (I think it was her) is very friendly and helpful. ❤️
