Created in 2008 by designer and founder, Armando Cabral, ARMANDO CABRAL creates luxury footwear, apparel, iconic leather accessories and gold jewelry inspired by Armando’s African heritage, often drawing from his personal experiences as a world traveler and global citizen. Each piece is crafted using the finest European artisanal techniques.

The ARMANDO CABRAL brand was born from the vision of Armando Cabral himself. As one of the most recognized runway models in the world, he had the insight to craft a collection of Men’s footwear based on what he wanted to see in the market: classic and iconic styles, built for comfort and made from the finest materials by traditional shoemaking artisans. Today, the ARMANDO CABRAL brand carries a wide selection of Men’s and unisex shoes including Sneakers, Loafers, Slippers, Derbys, Boots, Sandals, and Slides and has recently included apparel, leather accessories and gold jewelry.  

ARMANDO CABRAL creates his namesake footwear featuring hand woven fabrics from his home country of Guinea-Bissau integrated into the shoe design. These iconic styles: BOLAMA Pano Di Pinti Slip-on Loafer, BISSAU Slip-on Loafer, ARABIA Pano Di Pinti Slides represent the highest quality shoes crafted exclusively from African made materials and fabrics. 

ARMANDO CABRAL has collaborated on specialty footwear collections, capsule collections, and co-branded exclusives with world renowned brands such as Todd Snyder, Allen Edmonds, Theory, Il Bussetto and many more.
