INTRUDOCTION

At Big Raven Portugal, we believe sustainability grows stronger when we work together. Tha´s why, beyondour own collections, we collaborate with brands, shops, and businesses who share our values of ethical production, transparency, and timeless design.

Using our established network of Portuguese small family businesses and local companies, we support responsible manufacturing that prioritizes:
 

• Deadstock & eco-friendly fabrics

• Local production in Portugal

• Fair and respectful working conditiuons

• Small-batch and slow-fashion approaches

• High-quality craftmanship

​

​

Whether you´re looking to develop a full collection, a limited edition capsule, or sustainably make your essentials, we bring our expertise in sourcing, design, and production-the exact same process we trust for our own products.

Let´s create fashion with purpose, together.

Our Working Method

​

We believe that fashion should respect the planet and the people behind every piece. At Big Raven, our production process is built on transparency, responsibilty and collaboration - from the very first idea to the finished garment.

​

​

1. Design with Purpose

​

Every product starts with intention: timeless, functional and durable.

We focus on collections and pieces meant to be loved for years - not a season.

​

​

​2. Responsible Material Sourcing

​

We search through the best Portuguese Suppliers to find:

​

• Deadstock fabrics (our main approach to reduce waste)

• Organic + natural fibers like organic cotton, cotton, linen & wool

• Certified materials (GOTS, Oeko-Tex)

​

Nothing is produced unless we know the fabric already existes.

​

​

3. 100% Local Production

​

• Small family businesses

• Lager ethical factories (we regularly visit every partner, building real relationships and ensuring fair and safe working conditions)

​

​

4. Small-Batch Craftmanship

​

We produce only what we need.

This avoids overproduction and keeps our quality control high.

​

​

5. Circular Mindset

​

We are constantly improving:

​

• Reducing waste during cutting

• Reusing leftovers when possible (acessories, details)

• Choosing low-impact packaging

​

​
