TOINO ABEL takes a modern approach to basketry. We bring together an in-house designed collection with a unique savoir-faire while merging nature, design, and folk culture.
TOINO ABEL was founded by Nuno Henriques, who has developed an interest in handwork over the past years. Nuno uses his passion for this almost lost craft to drive forward a tradition in new ways. Nuno started TOINO ABEL in 2010 in Berlin and moved to the Portuguese countryside in 2013 to work alongside locals with the old remaining craftspeople.
RESCUING A TRADITION
TOINO ABEL has rescued the ancient craft of reed basket making in Portugal.We acted at a vital time when artisans were few and old. Without them, this craft was lost. We acted out of love and we still do.
We have learned this technique side by side the remaining weavers. Gradually, we have refined its process and elevated the quality of every single step. Nowadays we are proud to realize that our bags have unparalleled craftsmanship.
