About us
Our story
Avesso is Portuguese for inside out — the side of a garment most people never see. The seams, the lining, the label. The place where the quality either holds or it doesn't.
We named the brand after it on purpose. We look at what others hide, because how a piece is made matters as much as how it looks. And because buying vintage was never a compromise — sometimes it's the only way to get something actually worth owning.
What we do
We find and sell good vintage menswear. We check everything. We describe it honestly. We think that's enough of a reason to exist.
Every piece is one of a kind. We've looked at hundreds so you don't have to, and we only list the things we'd happily wear ourselves. Less, but chosen well.
What we believe
The things around us — our clothes, our objects — say everything we want to say without a single word. We think they're worth choosing with care. Timeless things, with their own stories, so you can keep writing yours.
We're honest about condition because trust is the whole point. A flaw is a flaw: we name it, photograph it, and price for it. Nothing here is described as perfect or mint — nothing vintage is.
Born in Rotterdam, with a Brazilian soul
A message from our founder:
"I've loved clothes my whole life. When I started moving away from fast fashion, I expected it to feel like a step up. Mostly it felt like work — endless listings, no point of view, and rarely anything in my size worth the search. I wanted somewhere that did the finding, checked the pieces properly, and told the truth about them. So I built it.
I spent fourteen years in brand and content learning how good brands earn trust and keep it. Avesso is where all of that goes. Born in Brazil, built in Rotterdam. The brand carries both."
— Vitor Leite, Avesso's Founder & CEO
How a piece reaches you
We check every seam before anything goes up. Everything is pre-washed, so it arrives ready to wear. Then we wrap it in tissue, and add a card with a guide to the laundry symbols. A light spray of our signature scent, fresh and clean, is in there too.
Chosen with care.
