Armando Cabral was born in Guinea – Bissau and has been a model for 12 years. He started at the age of 17. In 2009 – when the US economy fell apart and everyone including me lost their homes – he turned his love for shoes into a thriving business. He is gorgeous, a business man and wears nice shoes…I hope one day to be carrying his collection at Luxury Goods Africa. Be Blessed Armando
