OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

Loja de Cenas (“Shop of Things”) is a store where I sell things, literally anything I feel like. The idea is that the shop can change whenever I want it to. I started out selling vintage caps, then moved on to vintage digital cameras (digicams), and right now it’s more focused on political and antifascist merchandising. It’s a shop that morphs as I go.

The first phase was focused on rare vintage caps from the 90s/00s, mainly from Formula 1. It was a highly specific niche, but one with strong and consistent demand.

Even with high demand, it was an extremely limited niche. Finding the right caps was really difficult, in a typical week I’d only come across one or two.

The second phase was centered on vintage digital cameras (digicams), which were gaining popularity on social media. The aim was to inspire people to step away from smartphone photos and embrace digicams, capturing moments with intention while enjoying the experience and nostalgic aesthetic of each shot.

The cameras were an easy product to sell due to high demand and simple sourcing. The only challenge was the trend itself. Digicams were highly popular between 2023 and 2025, but interest started to decline afterward.

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

This project has moved beyond being just a store. It has become a social initiative focused on defending democracy through educational political content, collaborations with non-profit organizations and supporting civic action. I sell ANTIFA merchandise, and the current collection “FCK CH*GA” takes a stand against the Portuguese far-right party "Chega". The promotional approach is intentionally bold and provocative to challenge the party’s extremist ideologies. Each t-shirt contributes 5€ directly to Nonprofit Organizations that combat racism and xenophobia.

ENGAGEMENT

Unlike the past phases, this one is highly engaging without spending any money in advertising. Since Instagram restricts political ads, all growth comes from the content itself, and its relevance and boldness naturally attract high interaction (comments and reshares).
