Our History
Founded by Vicente Apa and Luiz Roberto Apa, Apa Confeccoes was created from a father and son’s shared dream.
Vicente Apa, a talented tailor of Italian origin, brought his talent with him to Brazil, where he not only settled, but also built his family.
Vicente had already accumulated experience in renowned Brazilian factories before inviting his son Luiz Roberto to follow the same path. However, the search for excellence and quality has pushed them beyond the borders of Brazil’s large factories.
In 1968, in the city of Duque de Caxias, in Rio de Janeiro, this dream came true with the birth of the APA. Since then, the company has established itself as a symbol of excellence and commitment to quality, with more than 55 years’ experience in the market.
Apa Confeccoes stands out as a supplier to thousands of stores and boutiques, both in Brazil and abroad. We recognize that each market has its own dynamics and demands competitive prices. That’s why we offer in our catalog a wide variety of products, finishes and designs to meet our customers’ diverse needs. You can find various products, finishes and designs in our catalog.
