The founder
Mangará is led by Patricia Cossettin, a Brazilian entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in business, spanning fashion, product design, and international trade across Brazil, China, and Europe. Patricia is not only the founder; she is also a shoe creator, passionate about design, craftsmanship, and the emotional story behind each pair. After relocating to Belgium, she created Mangará to bring the warmth and craftsmanship of Brazilian shoemaking to European customers who value quality over quantity, using premium leather sourced from Leather Working Group Gold rated suppliers. With a strong entrepreneurial spirit and an eye for design, Patricia believes deeply in long term partnerships built on trust, transparency, and shared growth.
