AUGUSTA

Augusta is a woman-city. Augusta is Lisbon: a woman who, centuries ago, invented cosmopolitanism.

At first glance, one might mistake her confident and majestic bearing for haughtiness, but those who truly look at her will see the inviting nature she holds within.

She knows how to welcome without being bewitched. She knows who she is and refuses to be subdued.

Augusta is the triumphal arches of this woman-city’s complex history.

She is the fusion of multiple cultures that have fermented within her, shaping her unique identity and she is the pavement that unfolds in infinite patterns, deceiving the traveler who believes he’s merely stepping on neatly arranged stones.

Augusta, the woman-city who turned even the ground beneath her feet into art.

This collection is a tribute to our city, to its secrets and details that, hidden from the careless gaze of those who do not look closely, remain as true jewels waiting to be discovered.

Her true identity is not revealed through grand monuments of past glories…

Look down, it was from the ground that Augusta rose!
