History
Founded in 1950 in Chile, Gacel originated as a family-owned workshop specializing in leather goods. It became a prominent manufacturer of women's footwear in the Chilean market during the mid-twentieth century. The brand contributed to the development of the domestic shoe industry through large-scale production. In 2011, the retail group Forus acquired the brand, incorporating it into a regional corporate structure while preserving its established name and heritage.
