​​In 1918, Emílio da Silva Braga founded what would become one of the most legendary stationery brands in Lisbon. Still family-owned to this day, the Emílio Braga company is now in the hands of the fourth generation. They continue to produce their most distinctive product, a pocket-sized notebook bound in colorful fabric, and have created special editions exclusively for A Vida Portuguesa. This handmade Patterned Notebook features a reproduction of a timeless Portuguese motif on the cover. While the pages inside are blank, each one comes with a graph paper template should you want to draw or write with straight lines. A Vida Portuguesa is a Lisbon-based, women-owned shop focused on goods made in Portugal.
