The Essence of the Book is, as the name suggests, a bookshop. It was born from the owner's passion for books and reading, and it is characterised by being an inviting, welcoming space, where customers can feel as if they were at home. For the owner, this is the factor that determines the return of customers to the shop. Open since 2021, the Essência do Livro offers the main novelties and launchings, but also promotes the sale of articles in outlet, which represents the possibility of finding excellent opportunities there. Not to be missed.

In this shop, the main vocation is to disclose the work of small creators, essentially Portuguese. Their mentors, a couple who loves to “build dreams”, have tried to pull into this space those who, like them, share the same vision. The project is inserted in a multifunctional space of interaction between that which the creators like and the taste of other people who, like them, appreciate “quality, design, simplicity, creativity”. Besides its brands, 100% Portugal and Mum Who Loves to Sew, you can find other authors who are environmentally conscious and make handmade pieces. There is a great bet on illustration, but also on ceramics, author costume jewellery, and decoration, among others.
