Born in late 2019 from the friendship, creativity and shared passion for travel of Gonçalo Marques and Miguel Lopes, the Portuguese brand SHOEVENIR® transforms places, cultures and memories into footwear with a distinctive identity. Its name, created by combining the English words shoe and souvenir, gave rise to an original concept that seeks to carry a living memory of each destination with every step. Beginning in Portugal, the brand found inspiration for its first creations in Porto, Lisbon, the Azores, Madeira and the Algarve, translating the colours, landscapes and character of each region through the perspective of Portuguese artists, whose illustrations shape the details and colour combinations of every design. Made in Portugal, in a region deeply rooted in the tradition and expertise of the national footwear industry, the creations of the Portuguese brand SHOEVENIR® combine comfort, contemporary design and a more conscious approach to fashion, using non-animal materials, recycled cork, recycled polyester and soles designed to be recyclable. More than creating trainers and sandals inspired by places, the Portuguese brand SHOEVENIR® celebrates Portugal’s ability to unite art, tourism, innovation and craftsmanship, inviting each person to preserve their finest journeys not only in their memories, but also in every step.
