Porto
The city that is unpretentious and
highly efficient, just like our Porto
Porto lies along the Douro River, just at the mouth
of the massive river, right before it reaches its end
in the Atlantic Ocean. Porto is in fact the only
European city, which have six bridges, all crossing
the Douro River. Stunning bridges all standing as
a testimony to the beautiful architectural craftsmanship Porto is known for. Porto’s historic centre
is named an UNESCO World Heritage site. Mainly
due to the impressive and ancient cityscapes. In
the old parts of the city there is a wealth of astonishing churches made in remarkable architecture.
Furthermore, Porto is famously known for their
Port wine, which is ironically not made in Porto
but in Douro Valley. Port is however aged in wine
cellars in Porto.
Many facades in Porto are covered in tiles called
Azulejos, beautiful ceramic tiles glazed in ornamental art. Beautiful but serving as protection
against humidity.
The sturdiness and practicality of the Azulejos
tiles, is just like our Porto an effective protector
against the elements and shield against both the
cold and warmth.
Made in a wool and acrylic blend our Porto is the
cardigan for all occasions. A traditional piece of
clothing functional as both outerwear or as a
middle layer over a tee and under a jacket. Making
it perfect for those in between situations where
the temperature fluctuates, as it is easy taking it
on or off depending on the climate. The density of
the material makes it robust and sturdy, so it can
withstand being used and worn. Without losing
its shape and softness.
