The city of Felgueiras, located in northern Portugal, has a long and rich tradition in the cultivation and processing of linen, dating back to ancient times. This cultural heritage is a symbol of identity for the region, reflected in both agricultural practices and local artisanal and industrial activities. Linen, a high-quality natural fiber, has been used over the centuries in the production of fabrics, clothing, and other artifacts that are an essential part of Felgueiras' cultural heritage.

The landscapes of Felgueiras were marked by fields of linen, which bloom in bluish tones in the spring, creating a picturesque and inspiring scene. This cultivation requires meticulous care, from sowing to harvesting, the know-how it’s passed down through generations. Besides its economic importance, linen holds symbolic value, representing the perseverance and resilience of Felgueiras' inhabitants.

Inspired by this rich tradition, our footwear brand, Rubeas, decided to honor Felgueiras by incorporating elements of linen into some of our models. These shoes not only reflect the elegance and inherent quality of linen but also celebrate the cultural heritage of the region. The use of linen fibers in our products provides a touch of authenticity and sophistication, combined with the durability and comfort characteristic of this natural material.

Each pair of Rubeas shoes that incorporates linen is a tribute to the artisanal mastery of Felgueiras, bringing a piece of its history and culture to our customers. This connection to the past, combined with contemporary design and innovation, makes our products truly unique. By choosing Rubeas, our customers not only acquire high-quality footwear but also become part of Felgueiras' cultural narrative, perpetuating the linen tradition through fashion.
