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.

Vietnam textile-garment sector targets $50 mn in exports in 2026
The goal, however, is challenging due to external pressures, including stricter technical barriers, reciprocal tariffs on goods exported to the United States, and the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for selected industrial products.
Therefore, major export industries in the country have started restructuring and adjusting strategies early in the year to seize market opportunities.
Following a record export value of $475 billion achieved in 2025—up by 17 per cent YoY—Vietnam aims at adding nearly $38 billion to the figure in 2026.

The textile and garment sector, which earned $46 billion in 2025, has set a target of $50 billion in exports in 2026.
The sector is focusing on strengthening domestic supply chains, raising localisation rates and making more effective use of free trade agreements (FTAs), Vu Duc Giang, chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), was cited as saying by a domestic media outlet.
Exports may grow by 15-16 per cent this year, driven by market expansion and a shift towards higher-value products, according to MB Securities’ Vietnam Outlook 2026 report.

Netherlands’ goods exports to US fall 4.7% in Jan-Oct 2025
The data showed that the decline was driven mainly by weaker domestic exports, with goods produced in the Netherlands down 8 per cent YoY. In contrast, re-exports to the US rose 3.9 per cent during the period. Exports to the US have fallen every month on a YoY basis since July, CBS said in a press release.
Trade flows were influenced by uncertainty around US import tariffs. In the first half of 2025, trade between the two countries continued to grow, possibly as companies advanced shipments ahead of announced tariff measures.
Goods exports from the Netherlands to the United States fell 4.7 per cent YoY to €27.5 billion (~$33 billion) in the first ten months of 2025, driven by an 8 per cent drop in domestic exports, according to CBS.
Re-exports rose 3.9 per cent, while tariff uncertainty weighed on trade.
Imports from the US increased 1.9 per cent to €48.1 billion (~$57.7 billion).
Meanwhile, imports from the United States rose 1.9 per cent YoY to €48.1 billion (~$57.7 billion) in the first ten months of 2025.
