We advise you on how to integrate sustainability measures within your fashion and apparel business. We also provide support in identifying production partners in Portugal, manage your relationships with suppliers as well as the production and manufacturing of your products. We are your strategic partner to accomplish your sustainable fashion & apparel goals.

After you reach out to us we schedule a 45 minute assessment call in which we get to know your company and your ambitions. During this call we will also explain how we are able to support you in your endeavors. Once we have analyzed and gathered all necessary information we will present you a project scope and budget proposal. The proposal will detail all the steps of our project, delivery deadlines, business relationship outline and payment conditions. Following your acceptance we move forward to the signing of our services contract to initiate our project.

For one time feedback on a business idea or project we are available to set up a consultancy video call (we charge a flat rate of 75 euros per hour plus VAT). Please email us at hello@fashioncatalyst.org to schedule our call.

No. Since our founding we have developed and nourished a large network of partners who are textile and apparel manufactures in the north of Portugal. We are great advocates for the Portuguese textile industry, as they are forerunners in innovation and sustainability. With their support we are able to manage apparel projects from design, sourcing, sampling to production.

Not exactly. Typically textile agents work on a commission basis and as we focus on sustainable production, we believe in producing what your data and market analysis tells you your audience will purchase and cherish. This is rarely enough quantity for a commission to cover the time we will invest in introducing you to a supplier and setting up your relationship with them. Furthermore, most introductions would be unsuccessful if we didn’t dedicate enough time to them.

Our core business is consultancy in sustainability and apparel production. For fashion businesses who have production management teams in-house or just prefer to be in direct contact with suppliers, we charge a flat rate to identify an ideal supplier in Portugal, set up your relationship, advise you on how to best communicate with this supplier and introduce you to them via video call.

A reality in which we mimic nature. A world in which the resources and materials we create never loose their integrity. A society that believes nothing is waste and everything is of value.

You don’t have to start with a high MOQ, we can help you strategize your next steps. For one time feedback on a business idea or project we are available to set up a consultancy video call (we charge a flat rate of 75 euros per hour plus VAT). Please email us at hello@fashioncatalyst.org to schedule our call.

Sustainability to us means a reality where the activity developed by any sort of organization accomplishes non-existent negative environmental and social impact at all stages of the supply chain, end-use and end-of-life.

In the reality we live in this is not yet possible. This is the reality we strive for.

Following the above definition of sustainability, greenwashing is the practice of falsely communicating that a product or service has eliminated all social and environmental negative impacts across its value web.

Learn how your products are made, what goes into them, where each step of the supply chain occurs. Ask questions to all your suppliers. Challenge them. Inform yourself on sustainable practices. Speak truthfully to your customers, share your difficulties and educate them on what it takes to produce your products.

We know sustainability is a strong word that differentiates you from a wasteful crowd. We appreciate that doing a little better is worth something. And we are here to help you do even more. Get in touch – hello@fashioncatalyst.org.

We always start with a video call introduction. Please email us at hello@fashioncatalyst.org so that we can get to know you.

Absolutely.
