Centenário
The story begins in 1941 when Sir Camilo Ferreira had the ideia to run a shoe factory in spite of the WWII. Camilo was obsessed in making great shoes so much that he would ride his bicycle up the hill for several kilometers, every single day for more than 15 years to join his small team in the factory. For more then 45 years Centenário manufacturing was totally handmade.
