Our History

At Armazém das Malhas, every thread tells a story—one spun from the wisdom of family, the hands of artisans and the enduring spirit of Portuguese craftsmanship.

Since 1941, our family business has been dedicated to creating knitwear that stands the test of time: thoughtfully designed, traditionally crafted,and made to be lived in.

A Legacy Rooted in Lisbon

Our history began in the heart of Lisbon’s Rua dos Fanqueiros, where our grandfather, Durbalino Marques, first learned the art of knitwear at Miranda & Ferreira. His passion and expertise became the foundation of our brand, passed down through generations. In 2014, we embraced this legacy, blending tradition with a fresh perspective to carry Armazém das Malhas into the future.

A Family of Makers and Believers

Armazém das Malhas is more than a brand; it’s a community bound by heritage and vision. Guided by the lessons of our grandfather, we continue to innovate while honoring the art of knitwear. We invite you to join us—celebrating Portuguese craftsmanship, choosing consciously, and wearing pieces that feel like home.

OUR COLLECTION

Portuguese Craft, Enduring Quality

Every piece we create is proudly made in Portugal. We partner with local artisans and suppliers, nurturing relationships built on trust, respect, and shared values. Our collections are designed to last—season after season—balancing classic style with modern sensibility. We believe true quality is felt in every detail, from the yarns we select to the hands that shape them.

Conscious by Nature

Sustainability isn’t a trend for us—it’s our responsibility. We choose materials with care, prioritizing natural fibers and minimizing our ecological footprint at every step. By producing locally and in small batches, we reduce waste and keep our impact gentle on the planet. Our commitment extends beyond our products; it’s woven into the very fabric of our business.
