The story of Papo...

It all began fourteen years ago when Catherine Monteiro de Barros was living in Lisbon with her Portuguese husband and their two small daughters. Catherine realized that American mothers who wanted beautiful, European-style clothing for their children had almost no options. She decided to design a line of innovative classics that could be handed down from one generation to the next.

Catherine’s incredible taste and talent for selecting fabrics has made Papo d’Anjo a favorite among discerning mothers. What began primarily as a Trunk Show business is now a much larger enterprise with a store in Lisbon, in-store boutiques in European and department stores, a catalog and website. Papo d’Anjo clothes are also available at select children’s boutiques and specialty stores across the world.

With this continued growth, Papo d'Anjo remains dedicated to maintaining the same level of excellence and attention to detail. We prize quality workmanship, fresh design and the kind of remarkable customer service that is increasingly rare in todays marketplace.

Papo d'Anjo's headquarters are located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal in the historic district known as the Chiado. All design and production planning takes place there, on the top floor of an 18th century building overlooking the Tagus river and six of Lisbon's storied hills.

About the Founder

Catherine Monteiro de Barros is a mother of four. The daughter of an American father and a Norwegian mother, she grew up in Wisconsin and graduated from Georgetown University. After receiving an MA in International Relations at Johns Hopkins University, she worked as Associate Producer of World Report at CNN until she married and moved to Portugal in 1991. Catherine founded Papo d’Anjo in 1995 (see About Papo d’Anjo) and remained in Portugal until March of 2002 when she and her family moved to Gloucestershire, England. Today Catherine travels between England and Portugal monthly to oversee all aspects of the business. While she is the company's sole designer and chief decision maker, she relies upon very dedicated, talented and loyal employees in Portugal and the United States without whom Papo d’Anjo would not be what it is today.

PAPO D’ANJO HITS THE HEADLINES

2010 is fast becoming one of the most exciting years at Papo d’Anjo. We started the year with a great piece in Vanity Fair, which coincided with our arrival as the anchor brand in the new Bergdorf Goodman children’s department. Since then Papo has been in many publications on both sides of the Atlantic, most notably the July issue of US Vogue, and UK Brides & Tatler.

Jennifer Garner’s daughters were spotted wearing our swimwear, in US magazine, and European royalty are also dressing their children and grandchildren in Papo d’Anjo. The Duchess of Cornwall is a big fan, and little princes and princesses in the Netherlands have also been seen in Papo d’Anjo clothes.

We are very excited to announce that Papo d’Anjo has been asked to dress Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka (a.k.a Sally Draper) for her public appearances and red carpet events. All our customers who are struggling to get their older daughters into Papo d’Anjo will be delighted to hear that Kiernan is herself a huge fan of Papo d’Anjo, and has been wearing our clothes at various events this summer. Catherine Monteiro de Barros designed the embroidered organza dress she wore to the Emmys in August and the response has been incredible. Commentators described it as “beautiful”, “adorable” and “perfection” – and noted that it was a relief to see a child dressed age appropriately. Kiernan also attended the Bafta TV Tea in a Blue Batik dress from the new Summer Trunk Show collection.

In Interview magazine, Kiernan says “Papo d’Anjo is probably my favourite – they have some amazing dresses for kids my age”. Most recently, she was on Good Morning LA wearing our Hot Pink Chiffon dress from this summer, and also

photographed for the LA Times in the same outfit.

We are delighted to have such a beautiful supporter of the brand.
