Mistérius
Mistérius was founded in 2002 by the famous illusionist Maik Magic (Joaquim Bastos), with the ambition of offering the best magic and illusionism products for amateurs and professionals. Deeply involved in the world of entertainment (theater, television, cinema) and with the goal of catering to various production teams, he decided to acquire special FX equipment. Later, at the request of props makers, he began focusing on Carnival costumes and accessories. Given the excellent reception from customers, he considered expanding the business into other areas, such as birthdays, Christmas, and Halloween. Currently, Mistérius offers more than 30,000 references, with a wide range of products and competitive prices for all ages and genders! The brand has an online store and a physical store in Lisbon.

Disfrazzes
Disfrazzes was born in 2008 from the idea of Juanvi and Encarni, the happy parents of a creature that couldn’t stay still from the very beginning. This great idea originated in a small costume shop located in Ibi (Alicante), a Spanish town known as the toy village. In this first shop, there were just over 100 costumes, aimed at meeting the needs of neighbors and festive groups that had the tradition of dressing up once a year. With the arrival of the Internet, the opportunity arose to expand the catalog and facilitate the purchase of costumes and accessories with the creation of the first online store. Since then, Disfrazzes has not stopped growing, expanding each year to new territories (Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom). For Halloween, there are more than 9,000 costumes for adults and children, makeup, decorations, etc. The perfect temple of terror to scare family, friends, and teachers.

In the online store, over 12,000 references are available, including balloons, costumes, disposable items, decorations, and other accessories for any type of themed party. For October 31, the brand offers devils, ghosts, witches, wizards, vampires, and zombies, with an enormous variety of suggestions and ideas to make the Day of the Dead even more horrifying. With Partimpim, you will have a terrifying Halloween night!
