Carlos Santos

Established in 1942, Carlos Santos is based in the North of Portugal and has a long experience innovating products for men. Even today, Carlos Santos is one of the few Portuguese companies to apply the Goodyear Welted system, a manual technique in which machines play a secondary role.

Named after its mentor, Carlos Santos, it’s a 100% Portuguese brand, which year after year reasserts the quality of its products on an international level.

Having taken its first step towards internationalization 35 years ago, the brand is present in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, and the USA, and is preparing now to enter the Middle East. Recently, the brand has also taken a special interest in the female market by investing in new and more feminine products. This development, supported by customers’ demands, demonstrates the customers’ confidence and loyalty achieved throughout years of collaboration.
