Heritage Meets Innovation—Discover Sustainable Luxury

Najha Fashion bridges four generations of Portuguese shoemaking with a forward-thinking vision for eco-conscious elegance. At the heart of our brand is Daniela de Sá, whose family began crafting artisan shoes in 1930. Having grown up immersed in this craft—from local beginnings to supplying luxury labels across Europe—Daniela combined timeless techniques with a new mission: to create sustainable, high-end footwear that honors both heritage and the planet.

Driven by respect for nature and inspired by her childhood dream “to save the ocean,” Daniela trained in design in Italy. She then blended her inherited craftsmanship with innovative recycled materials, laying the foundation for Najha. Today, our collections reflect a commitment to circular economy principles, clean aesthetics, and durable luxury.

 

Our Philosophy at Najha Fashion

  • Craft & Innovation United
    We celebrate Portuguese craftsmanship by crafting luxury footwear and accessories using materials upcycled from marine litter, recycled plastics, cork, and organic fabrics. Our designs are clean, contemporary, and purpose-driven—elevating luxury with sustainability.

  • Ethical & Circular
    We weave ethical values into every pair: cruelty-free practices, low-waste production, and support for artisan communities. We believe in circular fashion—keeping materials flowing, not wasting them.

  • Founder’s Vision
    As the first woman in her family’s lineage and its current torchbearer, Daniela blends legacy and innovation with passion. Her journey—from designer training to championing sustainable luxury—is driven by purpose and grounded in craftsmanship.
