Made in Portugal: The value of a simple, well made T-shirt

7 days ago

We are constantly questioning what we do — trying to make things better than they were yesterday, not only in production but as well in design. At the same time, years of work have taught us the value of simplicity.

The value of a simple, well-made T-shirt.
A classic for everyday.

Made in Portugal. Crafted from premium combed, compact-spun cotton for a cleaner and stronger fabric. The fabric is knitted in Carregal, Barcelos (north Portugal) by our friend Albino. From there, the rolls are sent to Tinamar, where they are dyed and finished: sanforized, stentered, and given an anti-pilling treatment for long-lasting comfort and durability.

Once stitched, each T-shirt is pre-washed before packaging to ensure shape retention and achieve its distinctive hand feel.

Long story short — that’s how a Melou Tee is made.
