The Board was born in Porto, in the end of 2015, with the will and the passion to create timeless pieces of men's clothing, reinterpreting classic designs with a cool, minimalist and sophisticated look.
On top of our collections, we present an optional custom service so our Clients can manifest their own style and identity. Our custom service has the same seasonal fabrics and details of the collections.
The brand represents the lifestyle of a cosmopolitan man. Our Clients, sophisticated and demanding on the quality and design of their clothes, like to decide beyond trends. On The Board they can create clothes made especially for and by them, both formal and casual.
All the details in everything we do are of great importance and dedication. We choose the best materials and focus on the quality of production while maintaining a fair price. Currently our shirts combine the tradition and integrity of Portuguese production with the best Italian fabrics.
This quality of production, durability of materials and longevity of the designs, materialize our concept of sustainability.
