The habit of favoring brands with national production is something that can have more impact than you think. By choosing a model made in Portugal, you are helping the national economy and creating more jobs . If every Portuguese person makes this choice, we are making a difference.

Most of the brands present at SS are emerging brands , a term used to describe projects that are emerging, with new and original ideas. When you buy from these brands, you are not only helping someone's project to grow, but you are also buying a model with a unique concept that stands out from the rest.

Another important factor is sustainability . Portugal is one of the most sustainable countries in the world and the fact that factories and suppliers are geographically close allows for a smaller ecological footprint . So when you buy a model you like, you are also helping the environment.

Social issues are another reason why you should choose brands made in Portugal. Most Portuguese factories are certified and have ethical and fair values ​​towards their workers. When you buy a model made in Portugal, you know that the rights of none of those involved in its manufacture have been disrespected .

Price is the factor that usually leads us to choose other products. Footwear made in Portugal is often considered too expensive, but this is due to a number of factors related to production.

National production is done on a smaller scale , so if fewer pairs are produced, the manufacturing price of each one will be higher . This issue ends up having a positive side, which is the fact that there is less surplus .

Another factor that influences the price of the models is the quality of the materials . It is only possible to produce a quality shoe with quality materials . These materials, although more expensive, are what will make your model last longer and you will not need to buy another one so soon.
