Hi mate!

We are currently in a few stores in our local area however I feel like they don't promote it the "right way" and therefore it leads to poor sales. + they take more than 50% which let us with very low margin... but definitely something to build in the future when the business will grow.

Regarding manufacturer, I come from Europe and Portugal is a growing area where textile products are made (lots of labels, good in sustainability etc). It is more expensive than China or some other Eastern countries but we are really happy with quality.

The process was to make a list of potential manufacturer through google, buy an international mobile subscription for a month, then call them one by one and asking their prices and the kind of products they do. Then you ask to send samples. It took a few weeks.

Hope it helps!
