DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION
We bring apparel to life with care through a curated network of factories in Portugal and Italy that value craftsmanship, purpose, and people. Every collection is executed with precision, quality, and attention to detail.
These modern, quality-focused workshops work closely with nearby mills and suppliers, sourcing locally whenever possible across cotton, linen, wool, and technical blends. This ensures each fabric and finish supports the vision and integrity of your brand.
Production in Portugal and Italy is connected and efficient—fabrics, trims, wash houses, and factories operate within close reach, allowing for tighter communication, reduced waste, and greater control from sampling through final delivery.
