Christmas is coming, along with the arrival of a new year that brings with it the most glamorous night ever. The search for the ideal gift and the perfect outfit can be exhausting, but the truth is that in Braga there are several spots outside the hustle and bustle of the malls with incredible and original suggestions. Join me in this article and get to know the 7 stores that you really need to discover in the city of Braga.

 

Boneca Boutique

Walking into Boneca Boutique is like walking into a magnificent fairy tale. With a very unique and strong identity, this is a store with a very different and quite feminine offer, and that never forgets what’s on trend. With fabulous colors and patterns, all of the collections at Boneca are true pieces of art. Among the many renowned brands, such as Manoush, For Love and Lemons, Brian Dales, Jadise, 289 by Sara Giunti and Brigitte Bardot, as well as the Portuguese brand Maria Calheiros, here you’ll also find its own brand, which stands out for its originality and exclusive pieces. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for in the store, such as the perfect dress for a special occasion, you can always swap ideas and ask that your request be tailor-made – make your dream come true!

 

Franco Oculista

As far as the world of optics is concerned, nothing compares to Franco Oculista. With the latest trends always present, here you’ll be able to find models for all styles and wallets, without ever neglecting originality. The hard part is actually choosing, because the offer is so vast that you’ll just want to take everything home. In addition, Franco Oculista has fabulous optometry and contactology services; and an incredible aesthetic and technical advice service that is a great help when choosing the perfect pair of glasses – the staff will help you find the best model for your face shape. If you still don’t know what to gift this Christmas, this is a store filled with great ideas because, in addition to magnificent sunglasses and frames, you’ll also find various accessories such as great chains and cases to always keep your glasses safe, without ever neglecting style.

 

Nizza (Pop-Up Store)

I have followed the Portuguese brand Nizza since it was launched and every year I’m delighted with its evolution. With items that are completely outside the box, but also totally commercial, to me, Nizza is the best of both worlds. Quality and design are two of the characteristics that can be expected from this brand and the fact that it’s a Portuguese brand makes me like each item even more. This year, for the first time, the brand opened a Pop Up Store in the city of Braga and it will remain open until the end of December, which is great because it’s the ideal place to find the perfect outfit for the upcoming festivities! This is, without a doubt, a store that should be visited and a brand that is worth keeping an eye on!

 

Vintage Alternative Store

Objects from other times have always caught my attention. Maybe that's why I like the Vintage Alternative Store so much, a store where you can find furniture and décor by Portuguese and international designers, filled with personality and capable of transforming your place into a dream space! There’s no doubt that the sixties were emblematic at all levels, especially in terms of architecture and interior decoration. Retro-futurism and space age resulted in incredible, alternative, different and unique pieces. And this is exactly what you'll find at the Vintage Alternative Store. Currently, besides a wide variety of authentic works of art from the past, such as Danish furniture and magnificent pieces by the Portuguese brand Olaio Furniture, which are so in, you can also find magnificent paintings by the artist Patrícia Ferreira that will make such a difference in any space.

 

Urdi Concept Store

Urdi is an Extremos Artesanatos, Lda brand, a 17 year-old company dedicated to the manufacturing of handcrafted products, namely wicker baskets, bamboo, lath and wicker furniture. Around here, the 100% handmade products gain projection and a new approach, and it’s possible to adjust any model to the intended situation or space. 100% Portuguese and manually made with natural raw materials, Urdi products are perfect for a unique, charisma-filled touch. Along with its own products, you’ll also find other Portuguese brands at the store, such as Castelbel, Um Grama, O Melhor do Ribatejo, Minerva and Avianense Chocolates, among many others.

 

ID Concept Store

If like me, you’re a fan and a lover of what is created in our country, which has so much talent to offer, then you’re going to adore the ID Concept Store, a place where fashion, art, design and lifestyle coexist and complement each other, highlighting the simplicity of MADE IN PORTUGAL. The variety the store offers is simply wonderful and the fact that each item is by a Portuguese artist/brand, makes everything even more special. Currently located on Santa Bárbara Square in Braga, this is a must-stop for anyone looking for a special gift or that piece full of personality that will transform any look or space!

 

Secrets du Parfum

Secrets du Parfum is a very distinct place, filled with glamour and authenticity. Fragrance is king around here because, just like every single person, every fragrance is also unique, because it allows us to identify not only people, but also places, memories and beautiful stories. At Secrets du Parfum you’ll not only find perfumes: you’ll also find emotions and the power to remain forever engraved in the memory of those around you. With incredible brands such as Atelier Cologne, Miller Harris, Terry de Gunzeberg, Oliver & Co and Lubin, here you can also surrender to the fabulous cosmetics by Oskia and Coola, the wonderful makeup by Ellis Faas and the beautiful jewelry by the brand Sopro!
