Copenhagen-based fashion brand founded in 2000 and relaunched under Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup from 2009, with L Catterton as majority investor since 2017. GANNI publishes its supplier list openly — and northern Portugal is one of its most important production geographies.
GANNI’s published supplier list names Portuguese factories among its stage 1 and 2 suppliers, disclosed through the Open Supply Hub transparency database. Its flagship Portuguese relationship is with Ramil, a 35-person knitwear specialist in the Braga region that both knits fabric and assembles garments on the same premises — GANNI accounts for roughly 65% of Ramil’s production capacity, making the Danish brand its anchor customer.
Embroidery house Bordados Oliveira is also named among the facilities working for the brand, part of a supplier base of around 150 facilities globally. GANNI’s reliance on the Minho textile cluster follows a familiar Nordic pattern: premium Scandinavian fashion brands sourcing knitwear, jersey and embellishment from specialised, family-owned Portuguese factories within EU labour and environmental rules.
GANNI is one of the clearest demonstrations that northern Portugal’s textile cluster is not a commodity supplier but a strategic partner to Scandinavian premium fashion — deep, named, published relationships in which a single Danish brand can anchor an entire Portuguese factory’s order book.
