Once known only for its antique shops and gay bars, the Principe Real district in Lisbon is now going through a rejuvenation phase. It may be a residential district at its core, but the neighbourhood is becoming a serious shopping area! Off to a new start for Camille and Gracie, who get to enjoy their morning Americano coffee at the Jardim do Principe Real park under its iconic and towering cedar tree. Across the street is Embaixada, a beautiful retail gallery where the bloggers meet with General Manager Catarina Lopes, who tells them about the building’s history and its clever concept that seems to be perfectly adapted to the retail industry in Portugal.
Although the neighbourhood is surrounded by colourful 19th century mansions, like the Embaixada building, you don’t want to overlook its smaller boutiques! The two bloggers discover Alexandra Moura, a talented Portuguese designer who displays her styles in a beautiful shop on Dom Pedro V Street.
The fashionistas then lead us outside of Principe Real into the Alcântara district where they come across the LX factory. A manufacturing complex kept hidden for years, it has now become a full-blown creative district that serves the fashion, advertising, communication, fine arts, architecture and music industries, as well as all types of design fields, from home decor to office toys.
