Passo a Passo by Ruby Hart

Going into Ruby Hart's shop in Monte Estoril is like travelling through India’s fabrics and colours. There you will find shirts, tunics, dresses, coats, pashminas, bags and purses, all in cotton or other natural fibres, and with prints and decoration personally chosen by Ruby, who spent seven years in Asia – five of them in India, where she has her own factory. The business began more than 30 years ago with a focus on women’s clothing; however, it has lately been paying more attention to men’s clothing. Up the stairs you will find Passo a Passo Objects, which sells decorative items such as baskets, cushion covers, mirrors, blankets and so on. All with an Indian touch.
