Cork souvenirs?

Hi everyone,

I will be doing a cruise which has an overnight in Lisbon, I heard a lot of cork accessories in Portugal so I am thinking of getting some as souvenirs (earrings, wallets, purses - not shoes as I have seen them and they don't seem comfortable for walking) for my friends and myself. Which shop is more well known and have good quality cork products? And not too far away from Alfama or Baixa area.

Cork & Co. likely has the best quality cork products. It’s in Chiado, which is close to Baixa. If you go through the metro station in Baixa, you can walk straight through then go up escalators to Chiado without buying a metro ticket.

There is also a quite large shop with a wide variety of items very close to Pollux in Baixa. Sorry, but I don’t remember the name. The quality is better than on the street, but not as good as Cork & Co.
