Calm Concepts promotes and collaborates with local artists, artisans and Portuguese craftspeople. Through our curated, seasonal collections, pop-up events and small editions we are building a global network with local roots to help you to shop with purpose.
"We started this project as friends with a passion for handmade things, soulful stories, and the people behind them."
Our curated collections are Portugal-centric, but not exclusive. Some products are designed or co-created by us, others come from makers we know and trust. Each item carries a story, a connection, a purpose.
Calm Concepts is our way of collecting and connecting — people, places, and ideas — into something that feels good to give, and even better to receive. We hope you find something (for someone) you love.
I love my Calm Cork Mat. Comfortable, non-slip, stylish and hard-wearing, I've been using mine several times a week for over 2 years now and it's still in excellent condition. If and when it finally wears out I would definitely buy another!
I love the Calm Concepts soaps…so much so that I have gifted many of them all over the world, wherever I have travelled, as they are a beautiful little piece of Portuguese local life. Made with love & luxuriousness , they are all-natural, gorgeously nurturing to the skin, and so very pretty sitting in a bathroom.
Most of our pieces are made in Portugal by local artisans or small independent businesses, but we also work with trusted makers in other countries (for example Turkey, Italy, Morocco) that we are personally connected to.
Yes, please do! Ordering directly is more personal and reduces costs. Just drop us a message and we’ll sort it out with you.
Some items are designed or co-created by us — Angela and Mareile — while others are sourced from incredible artisans whose work we admire. Every product is selected to tell a story and serve a purpose.
We choose based on relationships, shared values, and the kind of quiet integrity that shows in every stitch, weave, or glaze. We know most of our makers personally and always prioritize ethical, small-scale production. Some decisions are seasonal, sometimes we are are curious, sometimes we have something specific in mind and sometimes we experiment.
We’re more than a store — this is our storefront for a bigger regenerative mission. Nothing here is mass-produced or random. We care about craft, care about people, and care about nature.
Yes, we do! Shipping costs and delivery times vary by country — you’ll see the details at checkout.
Many of our products are small-batch or limited edition. Some items, like our Rest Nests, are made to order — you’ll find details on each product page.
Yes! We love curating meaningful gifts for retreats, workshops, and soulful gatherings. Whether you’re hosting a retreat a creative workshop, or just want to treat your guests to something thoughtful and local — we can help you put together custom bundles. Get in touch and let’s co-create something beautiful.
We’re always open to meeting new makers, dreamers, and collaborators. If you’ve got an idea or a product that aligns with our ethos, reach out — we’d love to hear from you.
