Founded on May 12, 1981, Flor da Moda – Confecções, S.A. began as a small family-owned garment company, focused on the production of women’s clothing. Initially, the company targeted markets in the surrounding areas of its operational region. This market quickly expanded, and production goals multiplied accordingly. In 1987, the company participated in the PORTEX International Fair, which led to its first international contacts. Flor da Moda then began participating in other industry fairs, creating a clearly export-oriented business area. The Nordic countries, including Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, as well as Austria, the Netherlands, England, France, Spain, South America, and several Middle Eastern countries, quickly became key markets for business. This rapid expansion was largely due to the level of specialization the company sought to instill in women’s clothing production and the considerable efforts made to implement available technological tools in the workforce, thereby increasing productivity. Another decisive factor was the recruitment of specialized human resources for the various sectors of the core business, along with the creation of a fashion design and pattern-making department to identify the most relevant national and international trends for each season. These improvements enabled the company to specialize in a diverse range of solutions for all types of situations, from casual and relaxed clothing to more striking, glamorous, or chic styles. The company’s business dynamism, combined with a permanent commitment to high-quality raw materials and constant research into the latest innovations in design, pattern-making, cutting, and sewing, has been key to its extraordinary growth. Today, Flor da Moda S.A. is recognized as one of the leading textile manufacturers in Portugal.
