Our story
Born in 1979, in Portugall, into a family of shoemakers and factory owners, I’ve spent 20 years working on design pattern and shoemaking - a passionate enthusiast in these areas, but always looking for the right project to make my own. Now, at age 44, I’ve found it; combining shoemaking with my hobby and love of vintage motorcycles. It sta ed when I was looking high and low for the pe ect boots and sneakers to wear whilst riding. It was difficult, and so the idea naturally came to me that I needed to make my own motorcycle shoe brand. I saw a gap in the market for comfortable, yet durable footwear, with the highest safety standards and a proper retro look to fit my vintage motorcycle. It’s a gap I knew how to fill and, after a lot of design, labour and love, “Fovel -1979 Craftsmanship for life!” was born.
Picked with care
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
