From the porcelain that has adorned tables around the world for generations to fashion designers who have conquered international runways, and from fragrances inspired by the Portuguese coast, each Portuguese brand tells a chapter of the country’s story.

In our Portuguese Showcase, we have brought together some of the most iconic brands you can discover at El Corte Inglés stores in Lisbon and Vila Nova de Gaia.

Women’s Fashion

Fátima Lopes

Born in Madeira, Fátima Lopes launched her brand in 1992 and, just a few years later, made history by becoming the first Portuguese designer to join the official Paris Fashion Week schedule. In 2000, she once again surprised the world with a bikini made of gold and diamonds, valued at almost one million dollars. Today, she remains one of the leading names in Portuguese fashion.

Salsa Jeans

It all began in 1994, with three siblings and a small company in Vila Nova de Famalicão. What started as a local project grew into one of Portugal’s most internationally recognised denim brands. Present in more than 35 countries, Salsa is synonymous with innovation, comfort and the excellence of the Portuguese textile industry.

Lemon Jelly

Colourful, fun and instantly recognisable for its delicate lemon scent, Lemon Jelly was launched in 2013 by Procalçado, a Portuguese company with decades of experience in the footwear industry. It was one of the first Portuguese brands to receive vegan certification and continues to win customers around the world.

Men’s Fashion 

Lion of Porches

Inspired by classic British style and named after the Algarve village of Porches, Lion of Porches combines timeless elegance with a contemporary touch. Since 2001, it has become a leading premium casualwear brand and is now present in more than 15 countries. 

Mr. Blue

The story of Mr. Blue began in 2005, when a small chain of shops specialising in shirts gave rise to a new menswear brand. Today, it is a well-established name in Portugal and Spain, with shirts remaining at the heart of its identity. 

Children & Baby 

Knot

Founded in Lisbon in 2008, Knot creates children’s collections inspired by stories and special moments from childhood. Produced locally using natural materials, its pieces reflect the idea that clothing can also create memories and strengthen bonds between generations. 

Baby Gi

Entirely produced in Portugal, Baby Gi was created to dress babies during their first days of life with maximum comfort. Each piece is made from natural fibres by Portuguese specialists with more than three decades of experience in baby clothing. 

Sports 

Sanjo

Long before trainers became a fashion trend, Sanjo was already part of everyday life in Portugal. Founded in 1933, it became a true national icon, accompanying generations in schoolyards, football pitches and on the streets. After a period away, the brand returned to its roots and is once again produced in Portugal. 

Home & Décor 

Vista Alegre

Founded in 1824 in Ílhavo, Vista Alegre is one of the greatest symbols of Portuguese porcelain. Recognised as a Royal Factory by King João VI just five years after its creation, its pieces continue to grace some of the world’s most prestigious tables. 

Bordallo Pinheiro

Few brands represent Portuguese creativity as vividly as Bordallo Pinheiro. Founded in 1884 by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, the brand transformed elements of nature — cabbage leaves, fruits, animals and flowers — into unique ceramic pieces that have become true icons of Portuguese design. 

Castelbel

Inspired by Portugal’s landscapes, scents and traditions, Castelbel was founded near Porto in 1999. Its soaps and scented candles, known for their quality and elegant packaging, bring a little piece of Portugal to more than 50 countries. 

Costa Nova

Inspired by the striped houses of the picturesque fishing village of Costa Nova, this Portuguese ceramics brand combines modern design with artisanal production. Its stoneware collections are present in more than 50 countries and are appreciated both in family homes and in fine-dining settings. 

Beauty & Wellbeing 

Benamôr

Founded in a small Lisbon pharmacy in 1925, Benamôr has captivated generations with its creams and beauty products made with natural ingredients. Queen Amélia was an admirer of the brand, which went on to become an official supplier to the Portuguese Royal Household. 

Alma da Comporta

Inspired by the serenity of the Alentejo coast, Alma da Comporta transforms the scents of pine forests, rice fields and the Atlantic breeze into fragrances. A contemporary brand that celebrates understated elegance and Portuguese authenticity. 

Gourmet & Supermarket 

Delta Cafés

It all began in a small coffee-roasting facility in Campo Maior in 1961. Today, Delta is Portugal’s favourite coffee brand and one of the country’s greatest ambassadors for coffee. The story of its founder, Rui Nabeiro, is also one of entrepreneurship, community and social responsibility. 

Gallo

For more than a century, Gallo olive oil has been part of Portuguese dining tables. According to tradition, the name was inspired by the founder hearing a rooster crow among his olive groves. Today, it is one of the best-selling olive oil brands in the world. 

Compal

Since 1952, Compal has been turning the finest fruit into juices and nectars enjoyed by generations. A brand that is part of everyday Portuguese life, it continues to innovate while remaining connected to its roots.
