Started in Porto with a small Rolodex of 12 factories and a mission to make Portuguese manufacturing accessible to fashion brands without the cold-email pain.
.jpeg?w=96&format=optimal)
Hit 50 fashion brands across 8 countries. Refined our 100-unit MOQ workflow and built the internal QC checklist that still runs every order today.
Published the first version of our factory directory. 60 factories with full capability profiles, MOQ ranges, and direct contacts. The €39 price point hasn’t changed since.

Added tech pack standardization after seeing too many sample rounds wasted on bad specs.

Extended documentation to factories across Porto, Guimarães, Braga, Barcelos, and Vila Nova de Famalicão.
