Lisbon's Vintage Hat Shop
If Lisbon is a trip back in time by itself, then the Chapelaria Azevedo is one of its most prominent pinnacles, keeping close to its founding origins since its establishment in 1886. Quite literally the last bespoke hat shop in Lisbon; this centenarian boutique is kept alive by the same family and is already going on its fifth generation. It is quite interesting that the most interesting and attention grabbing hats are the ones made specifically for the female gender, however the shop only started to cater to these clients in 1988. Until then, male hats in a few traditional varieties were the only item on sale. Inside, the resilient turn of the 20th century woodwork and hat displays make for an incredible vintage memory in today’s modern times.
