Riscas & Pintas is a second hand clothes, shoes and props shop, where those who buy can also sell. This is an increasingly current concept and also in vogue in Portugal. With an ecological component, one can find, in this establishment, a great opportunity to battle consumerism and waste, but also with a financial component, offering articles at very competitive prices, in a context that is not very favourable to the economy. Not only of sale does Riscas & Pintas live. If you have something that, although in good condition, you no longer use, you can also put on sale in this establishment. The offer, as you might expect, is varied, for all genders, ages and fashion trends.

The idea of creating the Araucana came up during a summer holiday in Bali. The owner was an industrial director with a life in constant fast mode. It was there that she decided to completely readjust her course and dedicate herself to slow fashion, where beauty can be enjoyed with tranquillity and the contribution to a more sustainable world can be a goal. Here you can find slow fashion collections, pieces from national and international designers, with small collections that carry values of environmental and social sustainability. In addition to quality and distinctive products, you will find a calm service environment and a philosophy of preservation of both the environment and its elegance and uniqueness.

It was founded in the 50s of the last century, selling mainly fabrics by the metre and offal. It then turned to confection, mainly skirts and dresses for customers, employees in the surrounding service sectors. This ready-to-wear grew in the number of female employees and adapted to the new realities and latest trends in fashion. Today, with two open spaces, they function as multi-brand outdoor and indoor clothing establishments for women and men, in continuous operation since September 1974 with the current owners, being part of the traditional commerce of the city of Porto and having at its disposal a dedicated and specialized team.
