Sofia Caldas is a milliner and specialises in felt hats, small objects she says communicate with the world.
She studied in Caldas da Rainha, where she got a bachelor’s degree in visual arts in 2007. Her work as a scenography assistant at Teatro Politeama and in a hat shop reminded her of the hats her grandfather (Avô) Adriano used to wear, which inspired the name for her brand. The entire process of creating hats, from making the moulds to working the felt cones, is manual and can be personalised.
After training by the Hat Academy, she felt the need to preserve the traditional art of hat making by combining it with the visual arts.
Avo, a name “to take your hat off to”, has worked with Portuguese stylists and has even graced the heads of celebrities such as actress Isabelle Huppert. She now exports to a number of countries.

Sofia Caldas é chapeleira e especialista em chapéus de feltro, pequenos objetos que diz que comunicam com o mundo.
Estudou nas Caldas da Rainha, onde se licenciou em Artes Plásticas em 2007. O trabalho como ajudante de cenografia no Teatro Politeama e numa loja de chapéus trouxeram-lhe à memória os chapéus do Avô Adriano, que veio a dar nome à sua marca. Todo o processo de criação dos chapéus, desde a construção dos moldes ao trabalho dos cones de feltro é manual e pode ser personalizado.Após uma formação no Hat Academy de Londres, sentiu necessidade de preservar a Arte da Chapelaria Tradicional através do seu cruzamento com as Artes Plásticas. Avo, um nome “de se lhe tirar o chapéu” que já trabalhou com estilistas portugueses e até “passou pela cabeça” de celebridades como a atriz Isabelle Huppert. Hoje, exporta para uma série de países.
