Vida Dura is nestled in the small, not-too-far-from-the-beach village of Melides in the western Alentejo. It is a hidden gem offering an array of handcrafted traditional treasures reflecting the heart and soul of this beautiful region as well as interesting pieces from lands far away that have their own special allure.
Inside, there’s a captivating array of artisanal products, each with a story to tell. From intricate ceramics adorned with traditional Portuguese patterns to handmade textiles. Many of the products were sourced by fashion designer Christian Louboutin for his Vermelho Hotel just a couple blocks away.
One of the standout features of Vida Dura is its commitment to sustainability. Many of the products are crafted using eco-friendly materials and techniques, making it a haven for conscientious shoppers.
The staff are passionate about preserving Portuguese heritage and are happy to share the stories behind the products. You’ll gain insights into the rich history and cultural significance of each item, making your shopping experience more fun and enriching.
Vida Pura is a great stop if you’re shopping for unique souvenirs, exquisite home decor, or even a special gift.
