Production

At Teira 1996, our production is everything: From sourcing our leftover fabrics to how we design and produce our pieces, nothing is left to chance. Really.

From the very beginning, we decided to only work with leftover fabrics. So many beautiful fabrics are waiting to be used at production sites across the globe, and even though it does make our business more limited, we still can't see any other way than using what has already been made. Sometimes a leftover fabric allows 10 units of a style, sometimes it allows 100 of a style, but that is what makes our items special - they are always limited, and not something you share with rest of the world.

It is our production partners who help us source the leftover fabrics locally, so that we don't ship fabrics from one end of the world to another. We work with two small family-owned productions in Portugal & Turkey, who both have been chosen for their socially & environmentally responsible profile - and of course their craftsmanship. Our knitwear is made and produced in Denmark from the finest wool available.

It was important to us to find one or two production partners, who would allow us to make small orders, so that we only produce what can be sold. It is really not common to make small drops instead of seasonal collections and produce 10-50 pieces instead of +150, but our three partners have agreed to do so, and for that we are forever grateful. It is not a lie when we say, we consider Signe, Catarina & Carsten our friends.

Money and growth is not our motivation - we believe in a sustainable business strategy, where people and planet come first.
