Description
The essence of our neighbors, in a very portuguese sardine.
The mixture of spanish culture with our national tradition. Bordallo Pinheiro combines Portugal and Spain.
And so the Sardine Chulapa was born.
A sardine full of color and personality.
It is the reinterpretation of women wearing a chulapa: these women are florists, dressmakers, fruit sellers, cigarette sellers.
The most graceful sardine ever! It represents a woman wearing a chulapa, the traditional dress of Madrid, with a scarf around her neck and a carnation on her head.
The sardines are made with high quality colors and decals, which allows them to have a very strong, intense and beautifull glow and color.
All the decorating process in each sardine is manual. The decoration is performed by decal process, which takes on average 10 minutes, producing only a few per day.
Each Bordallian sardine is wrapped in a original packaging to simulate a sheet of newspaper, in a throwback to the tradition of the sale of this fish in Lisbon, dating back to the XVIII century, between typical selling sayings, from the fishmongers.
