Our Factory

Faced with the fashion industry's flaws, we decided to grab the bull by the horns and set up our very own factory in Portugal, where the magic happens. By doing this, we control everything from stitch to shipment, guaranteeing top-notch quality and production that's so ethical it deserves a standing ovation.

We also team up with local suppliers, our trusted partners, ensuring our products are as exquisite as a well-tailored suit. The idea? Let the pros do what they do best. By outsourcing certain processes to subcontractors, we achieve excellence, no matter what style demands. And guess what? All our suppliers are within a stone’s throw (or a 50km radius) of our factory, eliminating transportation challenges.

Portugal is our paradise, bursting with skilled workers and strict labor laws that keep everyone treated fairly. We’re not just making clothes; we’re setting up a fashion revolution from the heart of Portugal!

Ethics Woven Into Every Thread

Our approach to production is simple: fairness, transparency, and quality—no shortcuts. By owning our factory, we guarantee that every step of the process aligns with our values. Our manufacturing center, RTG Textiles, was built from the ground up with one goal in mind: ensuring ethical working conditions and a responsible supply chain.

Portugal’s long-standing textile heritage made it the ideal place to set up shop. As an EU-based company, we comply with strict European labor laws, but we go beyond regulations to create a safe and supportive environment. Our team isn’t just a workforce; they’re our Colorful Standard family. We invest in their well-being with modern equipment that eases their workload, comfortable break areas, shared transport solutions, and even a company football team—because good working conditions should extend beyond the factory floor.

Thoughtful Production, Less Waste

Quality and responsibility go hand in hand. We design our products to last, but we also ensure our production methods minimize waste at every stage.
We believe in making clothing that respects both people and the planet. From our team in Portugal to the final product in your hands, every detail is considered—because raising standards isn’t just a tagline. It’s what we do.

Garment Dyeing

We dye products only after they’re made, reducing excess dye and avoiding unnecessary stock. We use environmentally responsible dyes designed to minimise chemical impact.

Laser Cutting

Precision cutting technology utilizes a higher percentage of the materials than other cutting methods, and reduces fabric waste and energy consumption.

Recycling

Every last scrap is put to use, whether it’s repurposed into furniture filling or transformed into recycled packaging. Even our labels and hangtags are FSC-certified.
