Why Saudade?

Because we wanted to get back to basics. Saudade is that untranslatable word from Portugal: a mixture of longing, attachment, and hope.

It is also a way to take a break, to give new meaning to gesture, to time and to creation.

The Saudade collection embodies this philosophy: to make sustainable, vegan and handcrafted city shoes in the purest Portuguese tradition.

Each pair is designed to last, to be worn, repaired, loved, and to stand the test of time without ever going out of style.

Models from the Saudade collection

Conceived as a complete collection, Saudade brings together three wardrobe essentials:

SOAJO derbies offer a fresh take on a classic.

Their clean lines are reminiscent of old-fashioned dress shoes, modernized by the suppleness of olive leather and the comfort of a flexible sole.

The GAIA strappy ballerina flats reinterpret an icon of the women's wardrobe.

Inspired by vintage Mary Janes, they combine lightness, comfort, and delicacy. With their thin strap, they bring a distinctly retro touch.

The DOURO, MINHO and BRAGA moccasins embody sophisticated simplicity.

Elegant and comfortable, they can be worn and adapted to all seasons. From olive leather to cow print, each pair expresses a different personality.

Each model is handmade in Felgueiras, Portugal, from vegan olive leather, a soft and durable material made from recycled olive waste.
