Toino Abel

Founded in 2010, we have rescued the nearly forgotten craft of Portuguese soft-rush basketry, which is deeply rooted in our family history. Today, we lead by example with our distinctive looms and exceptional working conditions, addressing the real issues that caused an entire generation to turn away from this field. Our commitment is to preserve this heritage for the long term. By dignifying this craft from within, we ensure the unmatched quality of our baskets, elevating this art form to its rightful place.

All our bags and projects are produced in-house, born from a labor of love. We are located in the same small village that has been home to this craft for centuries. Our atelier is open daily to visitors, providing a completely transparent experience
