Business hopes to market a mosaic of unique Portuguese items

By: VANESSA REBOCA 01/25/2008

BROCKTON - Linda Denmark is not Danish or Portuguese. She is an American born in Vermont, but her love for Portugal's art and culture led her to establish Porto de Mos, a company named after a Portuguese town that imports hand-painted tiles. ...

In a recent business trip to Portugal, Denmark discovered a very unique Portuguese art form that she hopes will soon become as popular as the tiles she sells. She found that a company in Algarve is producing cork items used for decoration purposes and as fashion accessories. "I saw Pelcor products and I wrote down their website," she said. "I know people are going to love this type of materials," she said. "It is 'green.' It is a leather alternative. It is durable, lightweight and waterproof. ...

"I am going to target consumers who are interested in 'green' products and market [them] on the internet," said Denmark. "I will also send out marketing postcards to stores and boutiques." But what really sparked her passion for Portuguese products? "I think Portugal has a good value; they do beautiful work," she said.
