Benedita Formosinho

After setting up shop in Setúbal and Lisbon, Benedita Formosinho has now arrived in Cascais. Inside the former Town Hall building – now home to Relógio - Slow Retail, a space dedicated to Portuguese brands – Benedita and her mother, Perpétua (the duo behind the brand), showcase how their minimalist, timeless fashion design continues to evolve. Think increasingly sustainable collections and a new addition: their first unisex shoes, made with traditional Alentejo blankets. On the rails, you’ll find clothing in earthy tones with clever cuts that combine textures and materials; on the walls, the brand’s mottos – “What we do matters” – and explanations of their production process. “People need to be informed to make conscious choices,” says Perpétua Formosinho.
