OUR STORY
From Frustration to a Trusted Network—Why We Built Athleisure Basics
"We’re going to launch the best clothing brand there is!" That was our vision many years ago. We had the designs and the drive - now we just needed a manufacturer. How hard could it be, right?
We reached out to factories, ordered samples, and waited. And waited. When samples arrived, the quality mostly disappointed us. Requests for revisions were met with resistance. Deadlines kept slipping. One supplier after another, we faced rejection, ghosting, and empty promises. Two years of wasted time, money, and trust.
Then we found the right partners in Portugal. Over time, we built strong relationships with manufacturers and suppliers, creating one of the largest networks in the country. Now, we connect brands - big or small - with the right production partners, offering ethical, high-quality, and sustainable solutions.
We’ve been through it all - now, we make sure you don’t have to.
