What to know about La Paz
Atlantic fishermen, not runway workwear
The reference point is Portuguese coastal life: striped tees, chunky knits, sturdy outerwear and relaxed trousers in muted sea-worn colours.
Made where it is designed
Production stays in Portugal with local manufacturers and suppliers, run out of a store and showroom on Rua da Reboleira in Porto.
Knitwear and shirting carry it
Chunky knits plus linen and cotton shirts are the core, priced above high-street basics and sold through independent retailers rather than big chains.

Brand facts
La Paz is a menswear label founded in Porto in 2011 by friends José Miguel de Abreu and André Bastos Teixeira, named for the Portuguese word for peace.

Garments are made in Portugal with local manufacturers and suppliers. The brand operates a store and showroom on Rua da Reboleira in Porto and stocks independent retailers internationally.
