Shoes made for walking, not running

This is our biggest project to date.
With Saudade, we are launching our very first collection of dress shoes.

The Saudade collection evokes that unique feeling: a sense of longing, blended with the beauty of memory.
A gentle emotion paying tribute to Portugal's centuries of craftsmanship and recalling an era when shoes were still shaped by hand.

It took dozens of hours to trace every curve, assemble every piece, and sew every label.

With this new collection, we wanted to take our time to offer something different: vegan shoes crafted "the traditional way", with a passion for beauty and authenticity.


A collection of timeless & vegan shoes

Designed as a complete collection of five models, Saudade brings together three wardrobe essentials: loafers, ballet flats and derbies.

The Douro loafer is a classic style inspired by the 1900s. Designed in our Bordeaux workshop, this classic round-toe loafer is a timeless piece easily paired every day with trousers or a dress. Thanks to its supple olive-based upper and cushioned removable insole, this loafer is as comfortable as a trainer.

The Soajo derbies are a timeless pair combining heritage and modernity. Designed in our Bordeaux workshop, they are assembled in northern Portugal from a supple material with a stitched sole for added durability.

The Braga loafer is a vintage shoe inspired by the 1930s. Designed in our Bordeaux workshop, this retro-style loafer is easy to wear every day with trousers or a dress. Thanks to its supple upper and cushioned removable insole, this loafer is as comfortable as a trainer.

Gaia is a strap ballet flat with a vintage aesthetic. Its supple upper and cushioned insole make it a comfortable style that pairs effortlessly with a lovely pair of socks or tights.

Minho is a tassel loafer inspired by Portuguese heritage. Thanks to its supple upper and cushioned removable insole, this loafer is as comfortable as a trainer.

Shoes as comfortable as trainers

Most loafers, derbies and ballet flats are often stiff and uncomfortable.

With Saudade, we promise shoes that are as comfortable as trainers.
The secret? Oleatex, a supple and breathable material crafted from by-products of olive oil production.
It naturally moulds to the shape of the foot and softens over time. Inside, the recycled foam sole provides soft, cushioned support for immediate comfort.

Before launch, every model is tested by the CTCP (Footwear Technological Centre of Portugal) to guarantee flexibility, strength and durability.
To support your every step, for as long as possible.
