Over the last 61 years ArautoRAP or just RAP as it is more commonly known has established itself as a pioneer in a new genera ... tion of affordable high-quality footwear, specially designed for active children. RAP quality and market position is result of 6 generations of a family working in the footwear industry. RAP is represented in several European countries but mainly in the Scandinavian market. The origin and creation of the brand is purely Portuguese but with a Danish touch which gives it, it’s recognizable handwriting. All our products are manufactured in our own factory in Portugal, where we have a very high-quality control, which makes RAP one of the brands with the lowest returns or quality claim percentage. In our factory, besides our own brand RAP, we also produce for renamed brands. Our team has a strong knowledge in terms of products and markets, with demonstrated experience in working along customers with private label to fulfil their needs and develop their collections. We are specialized in leather shoes, but over the last few years we launched a vegan line of shoes, made with cork. RAP is strongly committed with environmental issues, therefore, we do our shoes with the best hides from animals raised only for human consumption, we use water based glue in the assembly of our shoes and many of our styles are with crepe natural soles, the most organic soles available at the moment. Furthermore, almost of our raw materials come from suppliers, directly, to the factory, and our boxes are made of recyclable carton. read more
