Shop History

The foundation of Casa Guimarães dates back to the first decades of the 20th century, starting as a small retail shop selling fabrics and textiles. Its target audience consisted of tailors, seamstresses, and the general public, who bought materials there to make custom-made clothing. Despite the rise of ready-to-wear fashion, the shop did not close, adapting instead to changing times. Thus, it became a specialized place for anyone looking for sewing accessories, as well as traditional costumes or regional embroideries. Carlos Guimarães, the current owner, succeeded his parents in managing the business, maintaining the shop’s rigorous tradition. Today, the store is not just a place for buying and selling, but rather a true journey back in time, as the shelving, interior furniture, and main storefront have remained unchanged. It is now also a meeting point for the many tourists who visit Felgueiras. It is, therefore, a landmark shop and a valuable asset to both the local scene and the municipality’s identity.
