Our story
I know this story from other carnivals...
Entrudo was created in 2017. It was born of a family project, within the union and creativity. Because we love Carnival so much, we combined it with a Portuguese tradition that is so unique to us.
Our first designs were inspired by the Caretos and the Carnival of Trás-os-Montes, North of Portugal, since is so rich in materials, colors, textures and sounds. But with so many beautiful traditions in our rich country, how could we stop?
Our goal is to honor and showcase our beautiful traditions, combining them with modern design. All the details are made manually by us, using natural raffia, rattles, fringes, wool and lots of color.
Tradition and know-how...
Our Entrudo designs are created, made and produced in Portugal.
To produce an Entrudo, high quality materials are used; we work on the construction of the shoe insoles to ensure maximum comfort, from the manual cut to the rigor in the making of a bag, the hand-embroidery, artisanal techniques such as weaving, basketry, knitting, crochet and highlighting the details that are made and placed manually. With the love and the Portuguese know-how, which gives Entrudo a unique style.
We produce in small quantities and, whenever we can, use surplus materials in order to produce in the most sustainable way possible. We believe in everything we do, we put our traditions in each product and we combine color, textures, joy and celebration, so that each of us, with Entrudo, can experience Carnival all year long.
