OUR CULTURE
Textile expertise.
Room for your brand.
CALVI builds on Grupo Calvi’s textile experience, established in 1977. In 2019, that expertise became a collection of Portuguese-made blanks for streetwear brands, teams and customisation projects.
Our teams bring materials, manufacturing and embellishment knowledge together. From choosing a garment to planning its finishing details, we work closely with each brand to turn references into a practical production brief.
