My name is Rafael Machado
I’m 25 years old, born in Portugal — more specifically in the city of Guarda — and I grew up in Trancoso, a humble and welcoming town in the same district. My journey began unexpectedly in the summer of 2024, when I decided to list a piece on Vinted as a trial. That first sale quickly turned into many more. What started as a personal experiment soon grew into something bigger, giving rise to Old Era — a brand with its own identity, driven by real values and a clear purpose.
