As our Sales are flying away, so are the little furry guys who helped us spread the word. We’re definitely no Takahashi’s
when it comes to dolls but still, this window was real fun to do and we’re pretty sure somebody else also enjoyed it…

Although most of our windows are made from scratch with original developed ideas, we sometimes draw inspiration from other cool stuff we come across. That was the case with this window made for a very stunning pair of Paul Smith shorts in June 2004. At this time, we’re not quite sure where we’ve seen this first but it was such a good idea that we decided to adopt it for a window. In case you’re wondering, there was massive bleeding on the shorts colors during the weeks they were immersed so our word of advice is, don’t try this at home kids…

This is the window we made for the SS10 Buttero sneakers, with movement in mind.
With more than 50 windows done so far, the reaction to this one has been really amazing.
We are quite happy to say that the Moving Window is a real showstopper!…

Windows are very important to us and we’re always trying to create something new and exciting for each one we make. With that in mind,
we made a field trip to our friend João’s company, to sort out some ideas for the upcoming one. His company – Italcor III, creates solutions for industry from simple conveyor belts for your car engine to large airport luggage transport systems. What we most liked in our visit was
the factory production line with all those machines, each one custom built for a special purpose.
New window, conveyor belts,… are you already trying to figure out what’s next?!
These pictures might give you some clues…

When we came up with this window, we had no idea what was going to happen. They haven’t all been counted yet but there must be around 400 posts up there. It’s impossible to point out each and every one of them, so here’s a general picture. Thank you for all of you who came
by and those who sent e-mails. Thank you all and Happy Valentine’s Day!

As promised, here’s some pictures from the 2nd day of the window.
A rainy day, but that didn’t stop people from coming by and post their feelings. Once everything stays outside 24 hours a day, we’re still
amazed how all is still intact and not even one single pen is missing – so far, so good…
For all of you who are sending messages, keep those emails coming as we promise to post them all, even if that means working overtime!

Till next Sunday at the shop, by email or facebook, post your message!

The I You window is based on a Little Britain comedy series sketch (which by it’s explicit content we decided not to display
directly) and it’s our Valentine’s way of saying we love you… The purpose is that you interact with other passing by people, may
it be your girlfriend, a perfect stranger or even your boss, by writing something and posting it on the cork board. The video
shows the making of process and day 1 of the window. Everyday, we’ll do a follow up of what’s going on and show it to you here.
It will be there for a short period so, you have untill next Sunday to get your ideas straight and decide who you really love…

PS: Send us your message by email or facebook, we’ll post it for you.

As the sale is drawing to an end, with reductions up to 50%, another past window came to our mind. This one is from January 2005 and sometimes it’s like this, we take all the furniture out and mess the shop a little bit during the sale period. That time we used piles of paper waste to display the products and even to do the price tags. Once in a while, we enjoy playing around with things this way.

This is our current window. The word “Promoções”, dangling from
our naked girls necks is the portuguese equivalent to Sale.

The scarf window is now gone. As we were removing it we thought of another one we made 3 years ago.

Every year in November we make a window dedicated just to Scarves. This is the new one featuring some cool fencing masks.
