History

Casa das Peles is a company created in 1961, initially operating in the personal name of "Miguel Martins da Silva", its founder, although it was known as Casa das Peles.
At the beginning of its activity, in a space of 200 m2 on Estrada Nacional nº 3 (where it cut, made and sold leather clothing), it had a privileged location as this road at the time was the main connection between Santarém and Lisbon.
In 1988, a rebranding took place to Casa das Peles Confecções Lda and with a family shareholder structure. To sustain its expansion, which at the time involved opening new stores in shopping centers, the company had 6 essential employees. Currently, the company has around 80 employees distributed across various sections. In Cartaxo, the company has an extensive covered area for production, storage and commerce, and also an uncovered area with parking for customers and a small playground, which delights younger customers.
Casa das Peles' leading position in the national market is the result of more than 50 years of dedicated work and where no detail is the result of chance. To careful manufacturing - which uses the best raw materials and design - we combined a rigorous selection of employees and a planned implementation.
These are our success factors and what gives Casa das Peles market leadership.
From 1991 onwards, the expansion of distribution and marketing began with the opening of two stores, one in Caldas da Rainha and the other in Vila Nova de Gaia on the current Mainland.
