We take pride in working with fashion brands and influencers, creating the highest quality, in the most environmentally friendly way.
During his years working in the fashion industry, Paulo Silva, the founder of Portugal Shoes, acquired a huge know-how and a large network of shoe manufacturers in Portugal.
Among this time, he understood that many international shoe brands were facing big challenges. Placing the production at the right factories, that could give attention to the brands requirements and needs was a very difficult task.

“This needed to be solved! Brands needed help, they were asking for it, and I had the key to the solution. We ensure high quality and flexibility at fair price with no social hazards.”
In 1999, Paulo Silva created Portugal Shoes, a business from Absolutarget group. The company’s headquarters are based in Felgueiras, a small town near Porto in the north of Portugal, worldwide recognized as the heart of top-quality shoemaking. There, we have been working on the “behind the scenes” for many well-known international fashion brands for more than 20 years.
Initially, the main goal of Paulo Silva was to help and support footwear fashion brands placing their productions in Portugal factories. However, quickly he understood that Portugal Shoes, would be much more than a manufacturer assistant.
Since day one Portugal Shoes team is committed to look for what each fashion brand need and expect with high-quality standards giving attention to every detail. At Portugal Shoes we know that each brand we work with has its own story and people, and we are the right partner to help them turn their ideas into reality.
Our company believes in long term relationships, based on transparency, respect, cooperation and knowledge sharing. We prioritize building lasting partnerships with our clients and manufacturers through honest communication and reliable service.
We've set goals to reduce the impact we have on the planet and we're always looking for new ways to get better. We follow all the EU guidelines and policies, such as fair-trade, ethical sourcing, health and safety, and reducing modern-slavery risks.
We believe that honest people with strong moral principles can generate amazing businesses. Our team prides itself on conducting all aspects of our work with integrity and professionalism, ensuring ethical practices throughout our supply chain.
Our team is always researching about new emergent trends, sustainable materials and new ways to provide effective solutions to our customers. We stay at the forefront of the textile industry by embracing innovation and creative thinking in all our projects.
To begin working with us, you just need to contact us, sending your request about the project through this form or email. You send us your tech packs as well as the quantities per style color, price targets and deadline of the collection. Then, our commercial department will analyze the project to understand your vision, what the brand is looking for and how we can fulfill all your needs.
A Tech pack is a framework for sharing your ideas in a structured way. Tech packs are illustrated designs and specifications of your shoe design. A tech pack is often required to obtain a quote from a manufacturer or agency, and to ensure that people understand how to make your design and its specifications.
You can submit your designs, tech packs, sketches or image references to us via our contact form. Alternatively, you can also email us at info@portugalshoes.com
Note: If you don’t have a tech pack, you can always send us physical samples from similar styles for what you want to produce.
