If there’s one thing we’ve learned at Finnieston, it’s that great clothing starts with great makers. That’s why Portugal has become such an important part of our story. Known across Europe for its skilled textile industry, Portugal brings together modern innovation with a long tradition of craftsmanship.

From the hills of the north to the factories by the coast, Portuguese makers are setting a high bar for quality. They combine old-world techniques with new technology to produce garments that feel as good as they look. It is not about fast fashion or cutting corners, it is about care, precision and making clothes that will last season after season.

Sustainability is at the heart of this. Many Portuguese factories run on renewable energy, work with organic and responsibly sourced fabrics, and maintain strong commitments to fair working conditions. That means when you pull on a piece crafted in Portugal, you’re not just wearing clothing, you’re supporting a community of makers who are doing things the right way.

At Finnieston we are proud to partner with Portuguese manufacturers who share our values. Their attention to detail, their respect for tradition and their push for innovation all come together in the pieces we create. It is proof that good clothing is about more than just style, it is about people, place and purpose.

The next time you see “Made in Portugal” on one of our labels, know that it stands for something special. It is a promise of quality, sustainability and craftsmanship that you can feel in every stitch.
