Guava

One of the most original Portuguese footwear brands with distinctive features such as asymmetric heels, vibrant colors and unique details

Guava is a Portuguese shoe design brand now based in Oslo driven by the passion for architectonic shapes inspired by asymmetries and the emotion of vibrant colors.

Each piece is handmade by dedicated Portuguese artisans who apply their refined skills and experience to create the most delicate elements that become part of the quality and perfection of every shoe.

Behind Guava is Inês Caleiro, who initiated the project at the beginning of 2010 when she was living in the USA. With a background in Graphic Design (Portugal, Lisbon), Fashion and Product Design (UK, London) Inês studied at the internationally renowned London College of Fashion (where she won the Best Student Award) and worked for the famous design house Jimmy Choo.

Her academic and professional path, with a rich experience in several areas, such as Graphic and Product Design and Fashion, lead to a combination of influences visible in Guava' shoes. This allowed her to combine the necessary tools to embark an enthusiastic path where Innovation and Excellence are important values.
