About us
Cabra is a Barcelona-based craft clothing brand born in Brazil and inspired by heritage workwear. Co-founded by Daniel Mangualde and Camila Romano, the brand is built on a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship, with a business approach that reflects our vision and values. Every garment is cut, sewn, and finished in-house on a fleet of vintage industrial machines, resulting in timeless pieces made to endure. We believe in clothes worth mending, not discarding.
Our Craft
Each Cabra garment is made from responsibly sourced materials, selected for their quality and how well they age. The designs reflect functional aesthetics and traditional methods of construction, rooted in classic utility wear. At the core of the collection is selvedge denim, valued for its strength, character, and longevity. Built for durability, every piece features reinforced seams, hard-wearing finishes, and precise attention to detail. This approach stems from Daniel’s pursuit of mastery in garment-making, drawing from the rugged utility of 1950s American workwear and the refined techniques of Japanese craftsmanship.
Craft at Cabra goes beyond the needle: Camila leads the business vision, communication, and partnerships, ensuring that the story of each garment resonates with the people who wear it. Together, they shape a brand rooted in both skilled making and meaningful connection.
Free lifetime repairs reflect our belief that garments should be worn for years, not discarded - our quiet stand against throwaway culture.
Our Roots
Cabra began in São Paulo in 2019, born from Daniel’s desire to create clothing that could withstand real life. Daniel’s background in design and garment-making combined with Camila’s experience in entrepreneurship and brand building gave Cabra its dual foundation: the hands of a craftsman and the perspective of a communicator. In 2021, they relocated with their family to Barcelona in search of a slower, more intentional way of working and living.
Why “Cabra”?
The name connects to the founders’ Brazilian roots, the folk figure Cabra da Peste, a symbol of grit and resilience, and the goat itself, known for its strength and adaptability.
