Filipe Afonso and Ricardo Azevedo’s new vintage store, called Styx, which features signature pieces from brands such as Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Maison Margiela, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as an art gallery, opened its doors this summer at number 14 Rua do Heroísmo in Porto.
“We’re still amazed by the opening day! It far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone who attended. It was amazing to meet so many nice and cool people — you’re all very special to us. That’s what motivates us, and we couldn’t be more excited about this new era,” say the mentors in a post published on the brand’s Instagram account.
“We’ll be adding new items regularly, and you’re always welcome to visit our art space Teodoro W. (@teodorowwww) in the basement, read a magazine or book, have a chat or a drink.”
“We’re open to proposals to occupy the space. If you have any ideas — events, activations, parties, collaborations, etc. — don’t hesitate to contact us,” they continue at @styxservice, adding: “You know where to find us,” from Tuesday to Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The name Styx comes from Greek mythology: “a goddess and also a river of the underworld, which marked the border and the contact between the world of the living and the dead,” they explain to NIP, confessing that it is “interesting that this image represents the way Styx works, resurrecting pieces from the past.”
After six months of buying and selling vintage and designer pieces online as a preview of their business, the two partners from Porto — trained in the arts and communication — opened Styx, where they bring together a diverse range of accessories, clothes, and shoes from various brands.
In short, the items on sale in this, Styx’s first physical store, are purchased online by the duo and/or in Portuguese and international fashion markets, as well as directly from those who come to the store to sell their own items. In the latter case, if they are not sold within two months, they are returned to their owner.

Stäubli will showcase innovative solutions designed to empower mills to produce the next generation of advanced fabrics.
Stäubli will showcase advanced weaving solutions at Techtextil 2026, highlighting technologies for high-performance technical textiles such as 3D composites and industrial fabrics.
Key exhibits include the MAGMA tying machine, TF series weaving systems, and UNIVAL Jacquard, enabling precision, efficiency, and flexibility for next-generation applications.
Stäubli will exhibit its trend-setting technologies at the Swiss Pavilion Booth B01.6 in Hall 12.0.
Technical Textiles: A market accelerating toward high-performance innovation
The global rise in demand for reinforcement fabrics, multilayer structures, 3D composites, and high value industrial textiles is reshaping manufacturing expectations. Reliable equipment, flexible weaving architectures, and precise material handling have become essential for weaving mills pursuing new applications and higher performance products. This expansion underscores the critical role of advanced weaving solutions in meeting evolving industry needs. Stäubli’s decades long know how in technical weaving positions the company as a key contributor to this transition.
Stäubli weaving systems are widely used to produce demanding technical fabrics — from lightweight reinforcement materials, OPW airbags, to filtration fabrics, medical textiles, and specialized industrial materials.
By combining cutting edge mechanical engineering, advanced electronic control, and long term customer support, Stäubli ensures stable performance and high fabric quality across all applications.
Stäubli Solutions to discover at Techtextil 2026
At this year’s edition, Stäubli will display its MAGMA Tying Machine, a robust and high efficiency solution specifically engineered to handle the increasingly diverse and demanding yarns used in today’s technical textile applications, including polypropylene tapes and other challenging filament structures. MAGMA delivers consistent tying quality while reducing the downtime traditionally associated with warp changes.
Stäubli will also present its TF series weaving machines, engineered for the production of advanced 3D, multilayer, and high performance fabrics using demanding materials such as carbon, glass, and aramid fibers.
- The TF20 offers high-speed capability and a double rapier option, increasing output for industries requiring lightweight composite reinforcements.
- The TF30 ensures gentle yarn handling while supporting highly sophisticated weave structures, making it ideal for aerospace grade and industrial textiles.
Part of our other solutions for technical textile, the UNIVAL 100 electronic Jacquard machine provides unparalleled flexibility for weaving complex and sophisticated technical fabrics. Featuring individually controlled harness cords and exceptional motion precision, the UNIVAL 100 is particularly suited for 3D weaving and the processing of demanding materials such as glass and carbon fibers.
The Jacquard machine LX 2494 is ideal for weaving technical fabrics on all types of weaving machines. Very robust and wear-resistant, it opens new avenues in heavy fabrics and is designed for many years of daily use with a minimum of maintenance. The Stäubli M6T 3-position module principle makes the machine particularly compact, and plays an important role in exploiting its performance potential.
Stäubli’s heavy dobbies deliver the power and precision required for weaving complex, high tension structures in technical and industrial fabrics. Designed for demanding applications, they ensure exceptional shedding accuracy, stable high speed performance, and long term mechanical reliability.
