This season Luis partnered once again with Portuguese eyewear brand Ergovisão and started a new collaboration with the Porto based silversmith Alcino. The brand was founded 1902 Porto and is dedicated to the art of silver jewelry and manual goldsmithing techniques. The Alcino artisans collaborated closely with Luis to create the “LUÍS BUCHINHO for ALCINO” collection. The jewels that accompany the AW23 collection are titled “The Bird and the Egg”, inspiration taken directly from the beginning of creation, a theme that has always captivated humanity. Browsing through Alcinoss rich archive, full of pieces inspired by fauna and flora, Luís Buchinho designed a complete line of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces that play with the shapes of birds and eggs, resulting in delicate but deeply striking creations.

The Primal collection is combining contemporary minimalism with a touch of vibrant nostalgia, harmonizing innovative fabrics with the timeless charm of classics by using the primal colour pallette and adding soft shades like pink, grey, beige, and bold black.
