From 14 to 18 September, Alma Porto Market will bring independent creativity to the galleries of Mercado do Bolhão. The event will gather brands from fashion, jewellery, accessories, leather goods, cosmetics and perfumery.
At the heart of Porto, visitors will have the chance to discover creative projects with distinctive identities. Moreover, the event aims to connect audiences with the people and ideas behind each brand.
A New Space for Independent Brands in Porto
The first edition of Alma Porto Market focuses on authenticity, creativity and independence. The concept celebrates brands with their own stories and strong identities.
In addition, the event brings several creative fields together in one place. Fashion meets jewellery, beauty, craftsmanship and design throughout the market.
Mercado do Bolhão also plays an important role in the experience. As one of Porto’s most recognisable locations, it provides a distinctive setting for the event. Therefore, the market connects contemporary creativity with an iconic part of the city.
Fashion Takes Its Place at Alma Porto Market
Fashion plays an important role at Alma Porto Market. The event will feature independent names such as Angurã, Humano, Fioagua, Thomson Club and Petinga Baby Store.
These brands add to the diverse character of the market. At the same time, visitors can explore clothing alongside jewellery, beauty products and accessories.
The event also creates a direct connection between brands and their audiences. Today, many independent projects develop their communities online. However, Alma Porto Market gives them a physical space to meet the public and showcase their work.
Jewellery and Accessories in the Spotlight
Jewellery will also have a strong presence at the first edition. The selection includes Pandai Pratas, Fátima Oliveira Joias, Hayatim Jewellery, Xuxu Concept and João Pedro Andrade.
Visitors will also find Romi Jewellery, Born to Rebel, Tea & Oatcakes and Filipa Magalhães Design. In addition, Groovy Roots and Gabriel Ribeiro complete the jewellery selection.
Accessories and costume jewellery further expand the event. Brands include Bloom Accessories, Burguesa, Nó, Flor Criativa, Fuchic and Rafibagoal.
Meanwhile, Puro Shop, Sambô, Dreams Bijuteria, Ateliê MW and Massala Bijuteria will also take part. Together, these projects showcase different approaches to contemporary fashion and personal style.
Beauty and Fragrance Join the Experience
The market goes beyond fashion, jewellery and accessories. Smellit brings perfumery and cosmetics into the experience and adds another dimension to the selection.
As a result, Alma Porto Market creates a diverse environment for independent creativity. Visitors can explore fashion, jewellery, accessories and beauty within the same space.
Above all, the event aims to offer more than a traditional shopping experience. Instead, it encourages discovery and creates connections between independent brands and the public.
A Second Alma Porto Market Is Already Confirmed
The first edition has yet to begin, but Alma Porto Market already has another date on its calendar.
After the September event, the market will return to the Mercado do Bolhão galleries from 30 November to 5 December. The organisation has already filled the available spaces for this second edition. Meanwhile, registrations are currently underway.
With two editions planned for 2026, Alma Porto Market creates a new meeting point for independent brands in Porto. Ultimately, the project brings creativity, identity and direct interaction with the public into one of the city’s most emblematic locations.
