The Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR® was founded in 2021 from a long-held dream of its founder, Bárbara Corby, a journalist and content creator who took on the creative direction of an identity inspired by idyllic retreats, travel and the freedom of unhurried days. Designed for the confident, contemporary woman, the Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR® creates beachwear and resortwear that combine comfort, functionality and sophistication through a minimalist, timeless and versatile aesthetic. The ability to wear each piece in different settings is one of the Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR®’s key points of differentiation, with designs intended to accompany the various moments of a journey, from the beach to dinner, encouraging longer use and reducing dependence on passing trends. Its connection to Portugal is reflected in production that takes place predominantly in the country, carried out by skilled professionals, particularly in northern Portugal, and in the use of high-quality materials such as linen and organic cotton. The Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR® is also committed to a more ethical and transparent fashion industry, aligning production with demand, using a pre-order model to reduce surplus stock and prioritising natural fabrics and recycled cardboard packaging. This approach reinforces a value proposition centred on durability, conscious consumption and the appreciation of Portuguese craftsmanship. In 2026, without moving away from resortwear as the core of its identity, the Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR® expanded into activewear, creating pieces designed to transition seamlessly between exercise and everyday life while maintaining the same standards of comfort, functionality and aesthetic refinement. With a coherent vision that brings together lifestyle, responsible production and relaxed elegance, the Portuguese brand ALMANDE RESORT WEAR® has established a contemporary position that showcases Portuguese creativity within a fashion segment associated with travel, leisure and wellbeing.
