Tucked in amongst the hustle and bustle of Rua Augusta is Helena Shizue Yamanaka’s store, Iandé, meaning ‘ours’ in Tupi-Guarani. Before opening the shop in 2000, Helena developed her passion for and knowledge of indigenous objects whilst working at FUNAI.

All the products come with a useful descriptive booklet that includes the history of the tribe, as well as information about the object.
