Atelier Poveiro
The sprawling fishing port and resort of Póvoa do Varzim, four metro stops north of Vila do Conde, is known around the world for its camisolas poveiras—sweaters made of rough white wool, with striking black and red embroidered maritime-themed designs. Originally made by retired fishermen, employing techniques they had used to mend their nets, the camisolas are now embroidered by the women in this discreet little mall off the main shopping street.
