Forty-six Years of fully fashioned knitwear, made by one family.
A FLAT-KNIT MANUFACTURER PRODUCING GARMENTS FOR PRIVATE-LABEL BRANDS.
Our story began in 1980 with embroidery. Over the years, the company expanded into nationwide wholesale knitwear, eventually growing into the private-label production we focus on today. Ana and António named the brand using the initials of their three children: Marlene, Jorge, and Cristina. While our business has evolved over more than four decades, the essence of what that name represents remains untouched.
