Inside a Luxury Clothing Factory in Portugal

Описание: The Glass Factory team visits Texmin, a family-founded textile factory in Northern Portugal that has been operating since the 1960s. Led today by Francisco, Texmin has built its reputation on taking on the kinds of projects other factories won’t touch: complex garments, experimental fabrics, and truly challenging constructions. From organic cotton t-shirts to seamless self-fabric collars, intricate embellishments, and fully assembled garments sewn start-to-finish by master tailors, Texmin pushes the boundaries of what’s possible. Their commitment to craftsmanship, employee development, and creative problem-solving makes them one of the most inspiring manufacturers we’ve ever filmed.

You can reach out to this factory directly on https://glassfactory.info if you want to work with them!
