Our story

We started PCF after watching dozens of fashion brands get ghosted by factories, again and again.

Now we help fashion founders skip the part where they cry into a spreadsheet.

From a small factory group to one that's supported 500+ brands

In 2021, a small group of Portuguese factories watched the same orders slip away: brands that sent briefs by email and never got a response, or ended up placed with a factory unprepared for their product and MOQ.

The factories joined together to document their capabilities, MOQs, and real response times, and to give brands a single point of contact. Today, the group has helped 500+ brands produce in Portugal, without the cold-email graveyard.

Three rules we never break

What we stand for

Three rules we never break

No factory kickbacks

We charge flat fees. Our fee is paid by you upfront. This is how our production assignments stay honest.

Founder-first answers

If your idea is a bad business, we'll tell you. We'd rather lose a client than ship them into a wall.

Small batches matter

We refuse to work with factories that disrespect small-run brands. Our group accepts orders from 100 units. Indie brands built this industry.

No commitment. We'll tell you honestly if Portugal isn't the right fit.

A small team in Porto producing orders across a group of Portuguese factories. We review every brief by email, assign your production to the factory in our group built to produce it, and coordinate the run end-to-end.

Production Assignment

We assign your styles to the factory in our group best equipped to produce them, from documented factories in Porto, Guimarães, and Braga.

Tech Pack Support

We translate your spec sheet to Portuguese factory standards before production begins, catching grading errors before sampling.

Fast Sampling

Factories in our group are set up for rapid prototyping. Most deliver a first sample within two to three weeks of receiving your tech pack.

Quality Control

Factories in our group conduct per-unit inspection before any order leaves the floor. Many offer third-party QC for larger runs on request.
