About us

Mangará is a Belgian-based footwear brand rooted in Brazil. And now, stepping beyond our own label, we also partner with select manufacturers and brands to bring exceptional footwear to Europe through wholesale and agency services.

A Trusted Partner for Retailers

At Mangará, we offer more than shoes. We offer a compelling product story for your clients. Our collections are developed with durability, comfort, and ethical values at their core. Every pair is handcrafted in Brazil using premium, responsibly sourced leather and materials.

We work closely with our B2B partners to ensure smooth ordering processes, on-time delivery, and personalized service. Whether you're looking for ready-to-ship styles or exclusive models tailored to your store’s identity, we’re here to grow with you.

What Makes Us Unique

Brazilian craftsmanship & Belgian headquarters – designed in the heart of Belgium, produced in Brazil’s finest workshops, we blend the best of both worlds.
Sustainability at the core – all our manufacturing facilities are ABVETEX certified for social responsibility, and our leathers come from Leather Working Group Gold-rated suppliers.
Made for all channels – Whether you’re shopping online, visiting our showrooms, or sourcing for your retail business, Mangará offers a full-service experience. We manage production, logistics, stock flow from Brazil to Europe, and tailor our support to our B2B clients.

For Mangará, mindful production and mindful consumption are the only way forward.

Our origins

Born from Brazilian spirit and crafted with European finesse, Mangará began with a single vision: create high-quality shoes that combine timeless design, comfort, and sustainability. Each pair is designed with care in Brazil, then we bring it to Europe and share it with both end-customers and retail partners.

With our dual role, we’re proud to serve:

  • Our direct-to-consumer collection, where we bring the Mangará label directly to you.
  • Retailers, boutiques and e-commerce stores across Europe, looking for unique, ethically-made footwear from Brazil.
