Helsinki ready-to-wear and knitwear brand founded in early 2020 by Alexa Dagmar and Linda Juhola, built around seasonless staples in natural materials. Almada Label publishes profiles of all six of its factories — and two of them are in northern Portugal, both four-year relationships visited by the founders’ team in December 2025.
Almada Label’s published factory pages profile two Portuguese production partners. A Barcelos knitwear factory, in the industry since the 1990s and founded in 1997, employs around 50 people and has produced for the brand for four years. A woven-garments factory just outside Porto, running since 1981 with roughly 100 staff, handles tailored items and outerwear under the same four-year relationship. Both have signed the brand’s code of conduct and were visited by the Almada Label team in December 2025.
The brand’s six-supplier network spans Portugal, Italy and China, but Portugal carries the widest product range — from knitwear to tailoring. In August 2026 the label makes its runway debut on the official Copenhagen Fashion Week SS27 schedule, putting Portuguese-made garments on Northern Europe’s most-watched runway.
Almada Label is a textbook example of the newest generation of Nordic fashion brands defaulting to northern Portugal for premium European production — young, transparency-led, and publishing named factory relationships from the outset rather than retrofitting disclosure later.
Fractio helps Nordic brands build sourcing and local partnerships in Portugal — without the overhead.
