There were two artisan crafts : the intricate jewelry and a sword forging demonstration I saw the same designs of metallic jewelry at a gas station : identical packaging, price and heft, so it seemed like still something mass produced, but these bear a product stamp that certifies them as originally made in Portugal. Got a chef's knife and decorative handled knife for my son and son in law. Jewelry is also quite intricately crafted, inlaid or filigree style.

Their silk-screened shirts are truly unique, with a graphic design sensibility that features the work of local designers. You won't find t-shirts like this anywhere else, so if you're already at Sol, Madrid's central square, it's worth the short walk over to Typographia to buy some new shirts for yourself, and these are the kind of t-shirts that would also make great gifts.

They do accept exchanges but, again, a bit begrudgingly. Note to staff: Be proud of what you're selling!
