The Portuguese brand TOINO ABEL® stands as a distinctive project dedicated to the appreciation of traditional Portuguese basketry, bringing together heritage, sustainability and contemporary design in a proposal that honours the past while projecting national craftsmanship into the present. Founded by Nuno Henriques in 2010, the Portuguese brand TOINO ABEL® was created with the mission of preserving a centuries-old craft, establishing itself as the first Portuguese basketry brand and developing ongoing work to safeguard this cultural heritage through an ethical, structured and future-oriented approach. Each piece is handmade in the brand’s workshop in Alcobaça using natural rush, reflecting authenticity, quality and a deep connection to Portuguese identity. At the same time, the Portuguese brand TOINO ABEL® is distinguished by its commitment to fair working conditions for its artisans, reinforcing a conscious production model that values people, place and the continuity of a rare craft. More than a brand, the Portuguese brand TOINO ABEL® represents a mission of cultural preservation and a clear expression of excellence in Portuguese-made craftsmanship.
