Catarina Martins arrived on the scene in September 2003 at the hands of Paulo Martins.
The brand’s philosophy “Life is too short to take a nap” embodies the urgency of continuous innovation, attention to detail and dynamic response to an ever-changing market. The Catarina Martins signature is vintage yet fresh, contemporary yet edgy. A signature of hand-dyed and washed leathers has been cultivated giving Catarina Martins a recognizable identity. A tribute to the region and the traditionally hard-working people of northern Portugal, each pair of Catarina Martins carries the label: “Shoes made in the Oporto region”. Catarina Martins suppliers and manufacturing partners are hand-picked for their many decades of genuine craftsmanship and attention to detail.
