### What types of garments do you produce?

We produce knitwear for men, women, and children. Our range includes t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, zip hoodies, quarter-zips, joggers, turtlenecks, tank tops, jersey shorts, and skirts. We work from basic jersey through to more constructed and technical pieces. All production runs in-house in our facility in Barcelos.

We offer a full range of customization: embroidery, screen printing, all-over sublimation, DTG (direct to garment), DTF (direct to film), puff printing, heat transfer, embossing, and glitter. We also provide 3D simulations so brands can visualize their product before any sampling cost is committed. Our team consults on patterns, fabrics, weights, and finishes as part of the development process.

Submit your project on NovaSupplier with your brief, references or tech pack, and target quantities. We respond with a development proposal.
