Why We Moved From Etsy to Shopify (And It’s Not Because We Didn’t Like the Ginjinha) 🍷
If you’ve ever tried to buy Portuguese-inspired T-shirts on Etsy, you might have noticed something… well, a little slow. Like waiting for a pastel de nata to cool down — patience is a virtue, but sometimes you just want it now.
That’s why PortuTees officially moved our Portuguese apparel shop from Etsy to Shopify! Why? Because our customers deserve better: faster checkout, smoother shopping, and yes, more unisex T-shirts that celebrate Portuguese culture — without waiting in line at a tiny Lisbon café.
The Etsy Era: Charming but Chaotic
Don’t get us wrong. Etsy was fun. We loved the little “handmade with love” vibes and all the feedback from people saying, “I feel like I’m wearing a piece of Portugal!” But sometimes it felt like trying to explain bacalhau recipes to someone who only eats pizza. Confusing, slow, and slightly frustrating.
Plus, managing stock, tracking orders, and creating sales promotions? Let’s just say we spent more time wrestling spreadsheets than dancing to fado.
Enter Shopify: Fast, Fabulous, and Full of Portuguese Pride
Shopify lets us finally do what we do best: deliver high-quality Portuguese-inspired T-shirts and apparel to everyone — men, women, and kids — without the Etsy wait. Whether it’s Azulejo patterned tees, Lisbon streetwear, or bold Portuguese heritage designs, your shopping experience just got smoother than a glass of Vinho Verde.
Now, instead of waiting for a message in your Etsy inbox, you can browse our full unisex Portuguese T-shirt collection, kids’ apparel, and heritage-inspired hoodies in one sleek, speedy place.
