like to introduce

Meet LT Clothing. Based in the heart of Barcelos, Portugal, LT Clothing has been a family-run business since 1988. What started as a small knitwear factory serving local clients has grown into an international operation — now exporting 90% of its production across Europe, from the Netherlands to Germany and France. Over the decades, LT has expanded its expertise far beyond knitwear, working with a wide range of fabrics while holding onto the craftsmanship and integrity that built its name. Today, the third generation of the family is part of the team, proudly shaping LT’s future and strengthening its relationships with global partners like PLC. We’re proud to work with LT — a partner who shares our belief in doing things: slowly, thoughtfully, and with heart.
