FOLKOLORS The art of beeing happy Honoring the Portuguese wisdom and popular culture, Folkolors Collection dresses itself in arts and crafts, costumes and customs, legends and music, in the vibrant spirit that marks certain Portuguese traditions for centuries.

A story about a spectacular portfolio of Portugal’s tile masterworks Tiles are one of Portugal’s most beloved art forms and traditions. They tell the tale of its people, and add to its beautiful landscape. Photographer José Maria Pimentel has spent years creating a spectacular portfolio of the country’s tile masterworks. With the help of his daughter, designer Maria Maria, his work has been put into a perspective for Bainha de Copas, which we have used to create our Tale of Tiles collection. 20

Bespoke and Tailor-made Wearitage At Bainha de Copas, we enthusiastically work on custom-made products for individuals or events. On a case-by-case basis, we look at special projects for a match between our brand and details of the task at hand. We have taken on work for single performances and multi-day events. 32
A story about Portugal, Mariza and the Champions League We created a skirt for Mariza’s opening ceremony performance at the Champions League football match in 2014. The event, watched by over 400,000,000 people, was a project we undertook with intense dedication. 34

A surprise for Michelin Star Chefs Here, we created a collection for Vila Joya, a boutique resort in southern Portugal. They hosted an event with more than 50 Michelin star chefs from all over Europe, and we were asked to create individualized aprons for each of them. To do this, we asked each one to give us some sort of inspiration that lead them to where they are now. Some used old photographs, others had a special memory, and a few even gave us drawings they made as children that were special to them. With that, we created something memorable. We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Vila Joya and their wonderful team. 36

The new chapter of such a traditional Portuguese story, Azulejaria (tile making), proves that it is anything but square. It being Portugal’s artistic treasure and ancient heritage, we picked Azulejaria looking for its ability to surprise us. 40
