Leira hosted a memorable celebration to mark a significant milestone — our 25th anniversary. Founded in the year 2000, Leira has grown into a benchmark in the Portuguese footwear industry, specialising in mid-to-high-end women’s shoes and proudly carrying the name of Felgueiras around the world.
The anniversary dinner brought together employees, family members, and close partners for an evening filled with joy, gratitude, and shared memories. It was more than a celebration — it was a moment of reflection on the path we’ve walked together and the challenges we’ve overcome to get here.
“This event was our way of saying thank you,” said Isabel Teixeira, CEO of Leira. “To the people who have been part of our story — those who believed in us, worked with us, and helped shape our company — we are deeply grateful. We wouldn’t be here without our team.”
Throughout the evening, stories were shared, friendships celebrated, and the values that define Leira — dedication, resilience, and unity — were proudly reaffirmed. In addition to recognising past accomplishments, the night also highlighted the company’s vision for the future, with sustainability, innovation, and continuous improvement as central priorities.
As we enter this new chapter, we remain committed to building responsibly, growing together, and creating footwear that reflects not only quality craftsmanship but also ethical and environmental awareness.
Here’s to the next 25 years — and beyond.
