Last month, we celebrated The Big Picture’s 25th birthday in Lisbon, Portugal. We ate, we drank, and we shopped — because alongside being experts on designing for authenticity, we’re suckers for a good souvenir.
On our hunt for the perfect “I’m having fun in Lisbon, don’t you wish you were here?” gifts for our nearest and dearest, we stumbled across a small artisanal store promoting the history and conservation of Portugal’s fishing practices, and ended up with a taste for sardines…
Well, sardine packaging at least, not so much the fish in my case.
