I was pleased with the Code shop in the La Vie Porto Baixa shopping plaza. The store is nicely laid…read moreout with plenty of merchandise and plenty of space. It is not crowded at all with enough room to shop. In early October, the clothing is warmer and targeted for the upcoming autumn and winter season. Lots of flannels and darker colors. Greens and oranges seemed rather popular. Some coats and boots on sale too. The racks are quite tidy and the displays are well leveled. Sizes are clearly marked and the prices too. Of course, in Euros. As for how good the prices are, even doing the math in my head (about 1.25 dollars per Euro), they are good. [Review 9877 overall, 1455 of 2018.]

People go there searching for Melissas, others hoping to find limited editions of Puma or Nike,…read moresome wishing to discover new products of young designers, some knowing that they could find the latest news from Fabrica Features, some other because, when walking through, cannot stand to come inside. Whatever the reason, it is worth the visit. King Kong is one of those alternative spaces, located inside the galleries and design shops district in town, where we can find the coolest clothes and footwear, bags and accessories, more or less unique and unusual, in an athmosphere contaminated by fashion and design with urban style.

Very decent store. Just about the same as it is in the states. Some of the fashion is different but…read morethat's to be expected. They had a big selection of clearance for women. I mean everywhere you turned their was some type of clearance! Things ran from 2 euro to about 25 euro on clearance. The men's section was really small compared to the women having two floors...I wasn't complaining. If you had any questions you may want to wait until you at at the register or go to the fitting room because there wasn't really any staff on the floor that I could tell. Most stuff seemed pretty well organized as well. Oh and before I forget they did have a children's section that was adorable.

We purchased three Massimo Dutti T shirts in January on a visit to Porto from Toronto. One of the…read moreshirts collars literally disintegrated in the wash. Since we ere on a visit we did not keep the receipt but thought that, as in Canada, large brand stores will accept and replace. Not so here. The store manager informed us (about one hundred times no less) that it was impossible this came from the wash. We informed her that we did not have the original receipt and after convincing her that we did purchase it at the shop, she said that if we could PROVE that we bought it there then she might exchange it. When pressed that I would not waste a weekend searching for the receipt only to have her not exchange, she said that she would if we could prove it. Atrocious service.....in Canada the brands would exchange the product immediately, even if for the reputational aspect, and after all, how much did the shirt cost them to have made???!!! Not great service and very confrontational, almost calling us liars! Probably the last time we will set foot there!
