PORTUGUESE ELEGANCE | TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP

– Our Story –

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 designs and handmade attention to detail for all our collections of women’s and men’s bags, shoes, belts, and other accessories.
