We founded DGL in 1999 in Barcelos, and from the beginning, our ambition was to be the kind of partner that never says no. Over 25 years, we have built that reputation. We work with brands that are just starting out and brands that have been in the market for decades. What they have in common is that they came to us because they wanted a manufacturer that would genuinely engage with their project, not just take an order.
Our process starts the moment a client brings us their idea. We listen. We draw. We find the right fabrics and components. We build the sample. And we stay in contact at every step, photos, videos, or direct visits, because we believe quality control should include the client. The full process, from acquisition to design, manufacturing, packaging, and shipping, is ours to manage so that our clients can focus on building their brand.
Our minimum order is 150 pieces per color per reference, a threshold we set deliberately, because we believe the right manufacturer should be accessible to brands at every stage. We work in Portugal, and for larger volume projects we also operate a branch in Turkey, which gives us additional flexibility for clients who need faster turnaround or higher capacity.
When clients stay with us, and many have for years, it is because they know that when they say they need something, we find a way to make it happen. That commitment is not a tagline. It is how we measure whether we are doing our job.
