A Tradition Woven in the North
Why Portuguese Textiles Are Among the Best in the World
Liceia Home – Crafted in Portugal, Made for Switzerland
Portugal has become one of Europe’s most respected destinations for premium textiles — especially in the northern regions such as Guimarães, Braga, Barcelos, and Santo Tirso. For decades, global luxury brands have relied on these small, highly specialized factories for their exceptional quality.
A Textile Tradition Founded on Craftsmanship
The North of Portugal has a long history of weaving and cotton processing, dating back to the 18th century. What makes the region unique?
Generations of expertise — Skills are passed down in family-owned mills.
High-quality weaving — Precision weaving techniques create durable, smooth textiles.
Modern technology + tradition — Advanced looms combined with meticulous hand-finishing.
Strict quality standards — Many factories are OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring safe and responsible production.
This combination of heritage and innovation is the reason Portuguese textiles are known for exceptional softness, longevity, and premium feel.
The Northern Region: Portugal’s Textile Heart
Cities like Guimarães and Braga are internationally recognized for producing high-quality bedding, towels, and home textiles. The entire industry is built on:
✔ Responsible manufacturing
✔ Small-batch production
✔ Ethical working conditions
✔ Detailed craftsmanship
This is why Portugal is often compared to Italy in the world of textiles — but with a quieter reputation and more accessible luxury.
