With Feiras Novas just around the corner, demand for traditional regional costumes in Ponte de Lima has increased. In the town center, artisans Fátima and Alice cannot keep up with all the orders, in work that is intense throughout the year but takes on a different pace during this festive season.
The prices of the costumes range from 100 to 2,000 euros, depending on the materials and work required. Each piece is unique and carries with it a part of the history and identity of Ponte de Lima, helping to keep alive a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation.
Behind each costume lies meticulous work, where detail, attention, and precision make the difference. Each piece requires time and dedication to ensure a quality final result.
