Made for the people who keep their clothes
Most clothes are made to be replaced. Ours are made to be repaired, so we cut fewer, sew slower, and keep the needle on the table. Six garments a season, forty of each, and a mending service that never expires.
A studio of five in a converted print shop in Porto. Every piece is drafted, cut and finished within eleven kilometres of the front door.

Overshirt
Corozo buttons, two spares in the pocket. Cut long enough to tuck and loose enough not to.
$185
Each swatch is a rendering of the cloth, woven in the browser. Not a photograph of the garment.

the garment
01Detail 01 · Thread
Thread
Undyed cotton, waxed by hand for buttonholes. It wears out before the cloth does, and that's deliberate: it's the part you can replace.
Selvedge
We cut so the woven edge lands inside the seam, where it stops the cloth from fraying. You'll never see it unless you turn the garment out. Ask us to show you.
Buttons
Corozo nut, sewn on with a shank so the placket lies flat and the button can breathe. Two spares sit in every pocket, with a needle.
Label
Numbered by batch and signed inside the hem with the first name of the person who finished it. When it comes back for mending, it goes back to them.
