Discover our bespoke clothing manufacture service. If you can't find what you need in our wide selection of preexisting tops, bottoms and accessories for customisation, we'll happily make something new. While we love personalising existing clothes with our specialist print and embroidery services, we're also delighted to provide completely unique uniform and merch pieces. We manage a fully bespoke, cut-and-sew manufacturing process in Portugal using trusted factories who produce for some of the world’s leading premium brands. From concept and fabric sourcing to bulk production, branding and logistics, we support you end-to-end.
“We know that off-the-shelf UK stock items don’t always meet our clients’ needs, and sometimes a completely bespoke solution is required. For many, the process of creating something from scratch and finding a factory can feel daunting, especially if you’re not from the industry.
While the Far East is often the default thought, we wanted an EU-based alternative that avoids import duties. Portugal, at the heart of the EU textile market and renowned for its quality, was the perfect choice, supplying some of the world’s most popular brands.
We take your requirements in manageable quantities, starting from 250 items, and create the garments, branding, and packaging entirely from scratch within 8–10 weeks. Every item is produced to the highest quality and sustainable standards, giving our clients a premium, fully bespoke product without the usual complexity of international manufacturing.” - Alex Grace, CEO
Fully bespoke clothing items or ranges from t-shirts to bodywarmers. Anything is possible.
Share your spec, budget and timelines. We’ll advise on the best make, fabric and construction for your goals.
We source yarns/fabrics and propose trims that hit your hand-feel, weight and sustainability requirements.

AQL inspection, colour/shrinkage checks and packaging to your spec (individual bags, barcodes, swing tags, sustainability messaging).
Consolidated shipping and delivery to your warehouse(s). Split-shipment and multi-destination options available.
Tell us your styles, target fabric/weight, Pantone(s), decoration and volumes below. Images/photos or physical samples you can share are even better.
Choosing bespoke manufacture allows you to move beyond "off-the-shelf" garments and create something truly unique to your brand. It gives you total control over the fabric (weight, composition, and feel), the fit (custom silhouettes and sizing), and the finishing touches (custom labels, buttons, and Pantone-matched colours). By manufacturing in Portugal, you also benefit from world-renowned craftsmanship, ethical production standards, and shorter lead times compared to other sourcing options.
Because this is a fully bespoke "cut-and-sew" service, we aren't limited to standard stock sizes. We can grade your garments to any size run you require, from children's and petite to plus-size and tall fits. As part of our process, we develop a "size-set" for your approval, ensuring the fit is consistent and perfect across every single item in your order. This can be taken from an industry-standard size spec or your own size spec, if you prefer.
We can manufacture entire ranges, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and even more technical items like bodywarmers. Whether you are a startup launching a new clothing line or a corporate business looking for a high-end, cohesive uniform that reflects your premium brand, our end-to-end service, from technical packs and prototyping to bulk production and logistics, is designed to bring your vision to life. (Note: Our bespoke service typically starts at a minimum order quantity of 250 items per style.)
If you want to draw inspiration from an existing garment, that can absolutely be achieved. Send a sample or detailed spec. We’ll reverse-engineer the pattern and fabric, then prototype.
We’re happy to apply carton labels, inner poly bag barcodes, and size stickers as needed.
As a B-Corp, sustainability is core to our ethos. On request we source GOTS/GRS/OEKO-TEX materials and can supply documentation with your order. You can visit our sustainability page to learn more about our efforts to be eco-friendly in our practices.
