Description
Santa Justa Sardine
It was just an anonymous and pale Sardine. Looking to gain color and participate in the celebrations of Lisbon.
Being the icon of the traditional festivities, it deserved a monumental illustration.
Therefore, it has emerged a symbiosis between the sardines and the Santa Justa elevator.
The Santa Justa Sardine, once anonymous and pale, is now parading full of color and tradition
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.
