Why brands pick us for Portuguese manufacturing
Why brands choose us

Five reasons fashion founders trust us with their production

Every feature is built around the friction that makes sourcing in Portugal painful for brands who've never done it before.

100

Unit minimums, no exceptions

Vetted Portuguese factories

Every workshop is pre-inspected for quality, capacity, and response speed before we ever recommend them.

From 16 weeks to 7

Porto and Guimarães factories typically ship in 7 weeks. Half the wait of Asian manufacturing.

Factory-direct pricing

No hidden commissions. Factories pay us nothing. You see the same quote we see.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers from people who've sourced 100+ orders in Portugal.

Yes. Born and based in Portugal, currently in Porto. Speaking the language gets us honest pricing, faster sample turnarounds, and access to workshops that don't reply to cold emails in English.

No. We're paid by you. Factories pay us nothing, which is why our recommendations are honest and our quotes match what you'd get if you walked in yourself. Anyone charging you nothing is being paid by someone else.

Small and intentional. Three of us in Portugal: a sourcing lead, a production manager who's been on factory floors for 12 years, and a quality control partner who handles in-person visits. We cap how many brands we onboard each quarter so the work stays personal.

Yes. Once you've committed to an order of 100 units or more, we set up in-person visits across Porto, Guimarães, and Braga. We translate, drive, and stay with you the whole day. Most brands hit two or three workshops in a single trip and walk out with samples in hand.
