THE VINTAGES

These Portuguese rugs and cushions are family treasures. They were woven in the last century, cherished and passed on. Some have never come out of the family chest. Made from old clothes or linens torn in rags, each of these rugs and cushions contains in its weft the story of those who wove it.

Christelle, founder of Saudade, travels the paths of Portugal to find these rare pieces.
