Buttons, buttons and more buttons. The well-buttoned “Wasp” and parked outside the door is the ideal business card for a space where buttons are the main actors and storytellers. Each has a life of its own, a tale to tell, a unique experience and feel. Son and grandson of seamstresses and with the “pet” of mechanics, Rui Oliveira always coexisted with the buttons. It grew with them, but its process in the art of creation begins in jewelery, in the preciousness of filigree, where everything is worked by hand, meticulously. Creating a different concept coupled with a life course brought him back to the origins, the buttons and, with them, storytelling.
Barbot was born in Porto in 1920, with a factory located in Santo Ildefonso, by the hands of Diogo Barbot.

Currently, Barbot is present from North to South of the country, with two factories located in the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia, a wide network of resellers and 21 own stores, prepared to meet the needs of paints for various materials, thinners and façade rehabilitation material.
