Mustique was founded in 2018 by childhood friends Vera Caldeira and Pedro Ferraz, born from a shared desire to create clothing that blurs the lines between irreverence and sophistication. The result was a distinctive aesthetic that’s bold yet wearable — bringing imagination and artistry into everyday wardrobes.
The brand was born during a trip to India, where Vera and Pedro designed and produced their first collection of block printed shirts, and quickly became a cult classic amongst Lisbon’s youth and creative crowd.
Born in 2025, Gandaia is a Lisbon-based clothing brand that emerged as a natural evolution of the creative journey that began with Mustique. Drawing on years of hands-on experience in fashion design, production, and retail, the founders behind Mustique launched Gandaia with a desire to explore a more refined aesthetic - one that maintains a playful spirit but is grounded in timeless design.
Where Mustique thrives on bold prints and irreverent energy, Gandaia introduces a more mature tone through classic cuts, elevated fabrics, and subtle detailing. The brand focuses on creating enduring wardrobe staples with character - pieces that are versatile, well-crafted, and built to age beautifully.
Gandaia reflects the founders’ deepening understanding of their craft and community, offering a more understated expression of the creativity and quality that first put them on the map.
