BRAND TOINO ABEL®

The Portuguese brand TOINO ABEL® takes a modern approach to craft and basketry. The brand brings together an in-house designed collection with a very unique savoir-faire, while adopting an unique role that merges nature, design and an ancient craft. The brand TOINO ABEL® was founded by Nuno Henriques, who has experimented and developed an increasing interest for handwork over the past 10 years. Nuno uses his understanding of craft and his passion for nature to drive forward a tradition that has been lost almost completely. Nuno has started TOINO ABEL® in 2010 in Berlin and moved to the Portuguese countryside in 2013 to work on a daily basis alongside local artisans, at that time composed mostly of elderly people. The brand TOINO ABEL® was the first, and for many years the only, movement interested in the Portuguese reed basket making. The brand acted at a crucial time, when artisans were very few and all well over their seventies and rather demotivated. The brand TOINO ABEL® carefully designed a collection of straw handbags with original patterns and leather accessories that brings beauty, quality and functionality at a great price-performance ratio. The bags are made to last and meant to be timeless. If well cared for your TOINO ABEL® straw basket can last a few decades.
