Five years of building the bridge between fashion brands and the workshops that make their clothing in Portugal.

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.
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 vetted factory directory. 60 factories with full capability profiles, MOQ ranges, and direct contacts. The 39 EUR price point hasn't changed since.

Added tech pack standardization after watching too many sample rounds wasted on bad specs. Cuts 4 weeks off the average order timeline.

Tripled the directory to 150+ vetted factories across Porto, Guimarães, Braga, Barcelos, and Vila Nova de Famalicão. Every workshop visited in person.
Rolling out per-unit inspection where we visit every factory before your order ships. Currently in pilot with 20 brands across knitwear and outerwear lines.
Every factory in our network is certified to internationally recognized standards for quality, sustainability, and social responsibility. Your production carries those credentials without extra work from you.
GOTS · OEKO-TEX
We don't guess. Every range you see comes from actual purchase orders our network has issued or quoted in the last 12 months across the Porto, Braga and Guimarães textile clusters.

I came in with a Pinterest board. They turned it into a tech pack and intro'd me to a factory in Guimarães. First sample arrived 19 days later.
I'd quoted with 4 factories before. PCF's quote review caught a €1.80/unit overcharge. Paid for itself ten times over.
We wanted to launch with 100 units per style, not 500. PCF matched us with a small Porto factory that actually cared. Our first drop sold out in 8 weeks.
Straight answers from people who've sourced 100+ orders in Portugal.
Yes, every time. Average reply is under 24 hours, usually within a few. Every email gets a personal response from someone who actually understands sourcing in Portugal. No auto-responders, no junior reps copying templates.
To figure out whether Portugal is the right fit for what you're making and whether we're the right people to help. We'll ask about your styles, target MOQ, timeline, and budget. If we can help, we'll explain how. If we can't, we'll point you somewhere that can.
No pitch, no follow-up sales sequences. The call is genuinely useful even if you never work with us.
Yes, by appointment. We're based in Rua de Cedofeita in central Porto. If you're in town, email us a few days ahead and we'll set aside an hour to walk through your project, look at fabric swatches, and plan factory visits if you want to see workshops in person.
Yes. About 60% of our clients are based outside Europe, mostly in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. We handle the time zone gap by replying same-day in your morning and shipping samples DDP so you don't deal with customs. Minimum order is 100 units across all regions.
