CARA DE CARETO® is a Portuguese brand, created in 2019, rooted in a fascination with the Carnival of Trás os Montes, such as those in Macedo de Cavaleiros and Podence, with their striking costumes, colourful masks and noisy bells. The pieces and accessories of the Portuguese brand CARA DE CARETO® take us on a journey through the sensations and images of one of the country’s most famous carnivals, recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. So rich in materials, colours, textures and sounds, the Carnival of Trás os Montes, with its unsettling caretos, is the main inspiration behind the Portuguese brand CARA DE CARETO®. Designed, made and produced in Portugal, the pieces of the Portuguese brand CARA DE CARETO® are crafted in cotton with unmistakable graphic motifs. The accessories are made by hand, using wool and vibrant colour, bringing Trás os Montes culture into everyday pieces. The main goal of the Portuguese brand CARA DE CARETO® is to create distinctive collections inspired by Portuguese culture and traditions.
