Love, first
Every design starts life as an original illustration, drawn by hand and inspired by the small, ridiculous, wonderful things cats do. If it doesn’t make us smile, it doesn’t make the collection.
Chat à la Mode began on a sofa in Porto, with a sketchbook on one knee and a cat on the other. The cat was not impressed by the first sketch. So we drew another. And another. Eventually, the cat purred, and a brand was born.

Our cats are our creative directors. They sit on the drawings, nap on the fabric samples and walk across the keyboard at the most important moments. We take their feedback very seriously.
Soft, hard-wearing fabrics, prints that stay bright wash after wash, and stitching sturdy enough for a curious claw or two. We test everything the way a cat would: thoroughly, repeatedly, and at 3am.
Whether you’re a proud cat parent, a cat-curious friend, or simply someone who likes nice things with whiskers on, welcome. Pull up a cushion. The cat was here first.
With love from Porto, and the cats
