Armando Cabral

Drawing on his West African heritage and growing up in Portugal instilled a sense of global citizenship in Armando, leading him to pursue a degree in Business Administration while modelling for the likes of Louis Vuitton, Balmain and J. Crew. There, he developed an innate understanding of luxury and fashion.

Armando’s passion for shoes led him to create his own footwear line in 2009, expanding into accessories in 2018.

And in 2022, Armando cemented his success with the opening of the brand’s first flagship store in New York. With a nod to his heritage, the store also features artisanal goods from African creatives, handpicked by Cabral himself (WWD, 2022).
