Portugal Jewels has announced that its flagship store in Lisbon, located at 4 Largo do Chiado, has been shortlisted for two leading international interior design awards: the Creative Retail Awards 2025, in the Store Design of the Year category, and the SBID International Design Awards 2025, in the Retail Design – Europe category. The Portuguese jewellery brand, renowned for its exquisite filigree collections shipped worldwide, announced the news in a press release.
The Creative Retail Awards, established in 2018, will hold its 2025 ceremony in London this fall. The SBID International Design Awards, promoted by the Society of British & International Interior Design, will be decided through online voting at Sbidawards.com in the finalists’ category.
These nominations place Portugal Jewels alongside major international names that have previously featured on the same lists, including Nike, Coach, Jo Malone, Selfridges, and IKEA. According to the company, the recognition “celebrates the excellence of a space where tradition and innovation meet to create a unique sensory and cultural experience.” The brand describes the boutique as more than just a store, but “a celebration of contemporary Portuguese jewellery and the country’s artisanal heritage.”

“The flagship store in Chiado represents the culmination of a vision that combines cultural identity, aesthetic sophistication, and brand experience — and which is now recognised by the industry’s leading international platforms,” the company added.
The boutique is housed in an 18th-century Pombaline building on the emblematic Largo do Chiado, covering 40 square meters. The historic address once hosted the legendary Barbearia Campos, which for 140 years served as a hub for cultural icons such as Fernando Pessoa, Eça de Queiroz, Ramalho Ortigão, and Almada Negreiros.
The brand highlights that the design reflects both the artistic and social legacy of Lisbon, embracing a boutique approach to Portuguese jewellery and goldsmithing. The transformation “was carried out with respect for the building’s history, creating a dialogue between its cultural past and contemporary contrasts,” Portugal Jewels concluded.

Advanced induction heating concepts, available in single-zone or multi-zone configurations, ensure highly accurate temperature profiles and excellent temperature uniformity over the entire godet surface, precisely influencing yarn properties such as tenacity, elongation, and shrinkage to achieve a highly consistent final product.
Retecch develops precision godets and draw frames for heated, ambient and cooled fibre processes up to 400°C.
Its advanced induction heating ensures uniform temperature control, optimising yarn tenacity, elongation and shrinkage.
Energy-efficient systems, robust design and the UTR-6A non-contact monitoring solution support reliability, machine uptime and sustainable production.
Energy efficiency and long-term reliability are key elements of the RETECH godet concept. Energy-optimised heating systems and efficient drive solutions are combined with a robust mechanical design to achieve extended service life and maximum machine availability.

Bangladesh’s BGMEA seeks policy reforms, release of pending incentives
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications. Around Tk 57 billion in incentives for the textile and apparel sector remain unsettled in fiscal 2025-26, creating acute liquidity pressure and affecting exports.
Bangladesh trade body BGMEA representatives recently met Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and urged him to release pending cash incentives without waiting for quarterly release schedules and simplify the disbursement process.
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications.
They also raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital.
The authorities were requested to disburse incentives upon application submission instead of waiting for quarterly release schedules, according to a release from the trade body.
BGMEA vice president Mohammad Shihab Uddoja Chowdhury raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital. He said banks often reschedule loans to maintain non-performing loan ratios, but fail to provide the working capital factories need to resume operations.
He proposed that banks pair rescheduling with working capital support to create a win-win outcome, allowing factories to operate and repay loans. The finance minister agreed with the proposal.
BGMEA leaders also called for business facilitation and lower operational costs to help Bangladesh remain competitive in the global market. They sought policy support to remove obstacles in customs, ports and other administrative layers and to ensure an investment-friendly environment.
