ABOUT US

ARMANDO CABRAL is a luxury lifestyle brand founded in 2008 as an expression of my journey through the fashion industry — rooted in identity, craftsmanship, and cultural pride. What began with a singular focus on men’s footwear has evolved into a global offering of apparel, fine fragrance, and ARMANDO CABRAL A CASA — our debut home collection.

At the heart of every collection is a deep connection to my African heritage—expressed through design, form, and storytelling. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted in Europe by skilled artisans and family-owned workshops, where generations of tradition meet uncompromising quality. Together, we honor craft, elevate culture, and bring a modern, soulful elegance to life.
