ORIGIN
In a world of make-believe, words such as handcrafted and artisan get thrown around too cheaply, be it in a brand´s bio or the launch of a new sneaker capsule. Don't believe the hype. Mass production and aggressive leadtimes have made artisans in the shoe industry a rare breed. We've been at this game for 20 years, it's not down to luck that we know some of the best makers in our region of Porto.
UPDATED VINTAGE
We're obsessed with vintage and retro-inspired design and fuse it with modern construction techniques, meaningful details and a unique choice of materials to achieve one of a kind footwear. A throwback to simple lines and a tasteful neutrality in colors let the designs do the talking. Combine this with an ongoing dedication to product utility and lifespan and you got yourself the simplest form of anti-hype.
JOURNAL
We venture into the blurred lines of Art, Design and Fashion in everything we do. Our strong and confident personalities are matched to our enthusiasm for all things creative. It's not a "lifestyle", it's just who we are.
Our Journal's content breaks the auto pilot, bent for all things ordinary and mainstream. We have a way of our own, celebrating our past and plotting a fresh vision forward.
A VINTAGE HI-FI COLLECTION
Starting in 2021, Portcorner is also a new destination for quality, pre-owned vintage audio equipment.
What started as an idea to showcase my dad´s collection of vintage equipment, consisting of around 50 pieces by renown audio manufacturers such as Akai, Pioneer, Marantz, or Nad, has now grown to accomodate carefully selected equipment from fellow vintage audio afficionados, living in and outside Portugal, who want to trade their equipment but lack the tools and know-how to do it outside their local communities. We're selecting, testing and preparing the equipment for the launch which will be announced soon.
