- Do products come with size and composition labels?Yes. Size and composition labels are included as standard.
- What are the rugs made of?Indicatively: a polyester surface (sublimation-compatible) with a non-slip TPR (thermoplastic rubber) backing, weighing around 1930 g/m².
- What duvet cover sizes do you make, and can you do custom or US sizes (Queen, King)?Duvet covers come in five catalogue sizes: 140 × 200, 140 × 220, 200 × 200, 200 × 220 and 240 × 220 cm, with pillowcases included.
- What closure do the pillowcases have?The pillowcases that come with a duvet cover set have an envelope closure.
- Is the back of the duvet cover printed?Not at the moment. The print goes on the top side only.
- Are hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers and shorts available?Not yet. We're launching T-shirts first; hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers and shorts will follow at a later stage, and we can't give a firm date for them.
- What sizes do your T-shirts come in?Adult sizes run roughly XS–XXL, depending on the product.
- Do you make blankets, throws or pet products?We don't make traditional woven blankets or throws, and pet products and flat top sheets aren't in our range.
- Can the fleece blanket come in a stock colour or woven pattern? Gift packaging?The design carries all the colour: we don't hold stock in colours and we don't weave a pattern in, so the pattern is printed rather than woven.
- Are the fabrics pre-shrunk? How much shrinkage should I expect?Our Portuguese-made apparel and knit fabrics (including Jersey, French Terry, Rib and Gauze by the metre, such as Premium Gauze) are sanforised.
- What is the cheapest bedding fabric? Do you have polyester bedding?Percale and Sateen are our most affordable bedding bases; Cotton-Linen costs more in the same size.
- Can I see examples of products you’ve made before?Yes — our team can send photos of products we've produced previously.
- Is the oversized T-shirt available with long sleeves?No. The oversized cut is short sleeve only.
- Can curtains be printed on both sides?No. We produce printed window curtains, made up in Spain, and the print can only be applied to one side of a curtain.
- What are the bath mats like?Bath mats are 100% polyester at around 450 g/m², with an anti-slip backing, made with recycled materials and a sewn edge.
- Does the fabric shrink? (apparel and Portuguese knits)The fabric is sanforised. Typical residual shrinkage in home washing and drying is indicatively around +2% to −6%, with a ±2% tolerance.
- Can you change the cut or silhouette of a garment?No. Our garments come in fixed catalogue silhouettes, which can't be modified.
- Why are T-shirts printed in shared batches?Our T-shirts are reactive-printed: the dye is fixed into the fibre, not printed on top, so the print does not fade or crack.
- How do I wash a doormat or bath mat? Are they waterproof?Machine wash cold, below 30 °C; no tumble drying, ironing or bleach.
- Do you have a product catalogue?Yes, we have PDF catalogues for our home textile, apparel and fabrics-by-the-metre ranges, which our team can send you by email — useful for getting a feel for the range.
- Do your fabrics pill? Is there an anti-pilling treatment?On our Portuguese-made range (apparel and the Portuguese knit fabrics by the metre), the fabric receives an enzymatic anti-pilling treatment and is mercerised, which also helps.
- Do you offer a sample pack or fabric swatches?A sample pack is coming soon: printed by us with our own designs on each fabric, at a fixed price, and not deducted from a first order.
