How Cavalinho came to be
Cavalinho was founded in 1975, by Manuel Jacinto. From the first few steps, to today, we are a family business making a name for this 100% Portuguese brand, our roots firmly established in the northern part of Portugal. We stand out because of our exclusivity, fashion forward design and handmade attention to detail for all our collections of women’s and men’s bags, shoes, belts, and other accessories.
Mission
We set out on a mission to create exceptional handmade bags, shoes, and other fashion accessories that embody the values of quality, affordability, and exclusivity.
Craftsmanship is at the core of everything we do, and we take immense pride in ensuring that our products are made with love and passion.
That comes from everyone of our 250+ team members in our factories and retail stores that are like family to us. Many of them having been with us for decades!
