The trouser factory is run by two brothers who've been tailoring and developing trousers for decades; to say they are experts would be an understatement. In 2008, when the financial crisis hit, many of their clients were forced to leave and resort to developing countries, were the cost of labor is lower. As a result, the factory went insolvent. Over the course of the subsequent years, thanks to the help of their local textile community, they managed to slowly rebuild their business just north of Porto. It's an inspiring story, to say the least. And we are proud to have become part of it.
