Heritage in Motion

After a long search, we discovered kindred spirits in Portugal, in a workshop located between Porto and Braga. With over seventy years of history and now run by the third generation, it blends fresh perspectives with craftsmanship rooted in tradition, reflecting our values of thoughtful dedication.

Made with Intention

Each piece begins its journey only once we place an order with the workshop, specifying quantity, color, and design. No pre-dyed fabrics or surplus stock are produced. This approach eliminates unnecessary waste, minimizes energy use, and ensures full attention to detail.

Quiet Mastery

The artisans bring expertise and care to every stitch. Garments are made patiently, preserving structure and enduring quality. It is a gesture of respect for the craft and a quiet homage to time. We believe that the intention behind each creation resonates with its wearer.

Conscious and Ethical

The workshop runs primarily on solar energy and is GOTS-certified, ensuring materials are safe and production adheres to ethical standards. Fair working hours, equitable treatment, and ongoing training support both family life and professional growth, honoring every contribution.

The Power of Focus

From the very beginning, we offered only two styles, short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts, in two pure colors, black and white. This clarity allows us to refine materials, structure, and aesthetics.

Simplicity is our method. True precision comes from focus.
