Best fit.
Premium groups replacing an incumbent uniform supplier. A wardrobe that needs to age with the brand.
Not the fit.
One-off catalogue runs. Free pitching. Production-only briefs.
Where the wardrobe starts
Most groups own the brand on screen and rent it on bodies.
Of every surface a premium brand has, the one its people wear all day is the largest. It is also the only one most groups have outsourced to a chain they cannot name. Tell us the sector, where the current wardrobe is drifting, and the scale you run at. We answer inside one business day with a Concept Package proposal. Fixed price. Paid up front. Written before any sampling begins. Conversations are confidential by default.
① Paid discovery② Hand-made samples③ Managed reorders
NDA on call one.
Mutual NDA before the first call ends. Sketches and specifications do not leave the room.
Named in your contract.
Long-standing partner workshops in Porto, covering textile cut-and-sew, footwear, leather goods and packaging. Each one named on the signed page. No factory-hopping.
Swiss tolerances.
A tech-pack is not a suggestion.
One contract.
Brief to reorder on one signed page. No subcontracting handoffs. No production-only briefs.
QC on the bench.
Every piece inspected in Porto, before anything ships.
Five disciplines. One contract. One Porto network.
Design. Sampling. Manufacturing. Packaging. Logistics. The five sit on one contract, inside the same Porto workshops, every time. Every programme begins with a paid Concept Package. Nothing in the list is subcontracted outside the workshops named on the page you signed. We do not take production-only briefs.

Six phases. Each one gated.
No phase begins until the previous one is paid for, signed off and inspected. The Concept Package gates discovery. Paid samples gate production. QC in Porto gates shipping. Governance gates reorders. It is slower than a broker. It is the reason nothing ships that we would not wear ourselves.
