Portuguese Soul

Portuguese Soul Magazine is a semiannual luxury publication from Portugal, produced by APICCAPS (the Portuguese Footwear, Components & Leather Goods Manufacturers’ Association). It is published entirely in English and distributed across more than 97 countries.

Founded in 2010, the magazine celebrates Portuguese craftsmanship — particularly footwear — and wider creative industries such as fashion, design, art, gastronomy, and tourism. Known for its visually striking design and in-depth features, each issue combines long-form articles, photography, and interviews with prominent Portuguese talent working internationally.

Portuguese Soul showcases high-quality editorials, cultural storytelling, and profiles of influential figures — from dancers and actors to designers and entrepreneurs — sharing Portugal's heritage and innovation with the world.

With each issue spanning over 200 pages, it bridges luxury fashion and cultural identity, aiming to present Portugal as “a modern, creative nation” on a global stage.
