OUR HISTORY

1957

Alexandre Brito Gouveia, his grandfather, founded one of the first Portuguese clothing companies - Brialex, which focussed on winter products such as anoraks and parkas. Until 1978 he led the Portuguese market in these products.

1973

Carlos Guimarães Brito (second generation) set up his own factory, Eurofato, to produce thermocol suits under his brand (Charles Guy), which became the market leader in Portugal in the late 70s.

1993

Davion was founded in September 1993 and was created for the Private Label market, specialising in semi-traditional suits, and inherits more than 40 years of making men's clothing based on Italian tradition.

2000

Davion has decided to relocate its thermocol suit production to Eastern Europe.

2006

Davion takes its first steps towards a customised service. Later this year, Davion will offer a personalised service, enabling its retail customers to offer this tailor-made service in their shops. Well-known figures such as David Beckham, Gordon Ramsay, Jurgen Klinsmann, David Bowie, Pierce Brosnan, Morgan Freeman and Robbie Williams have all worn customised suits made at Davion.

2007

The expansion of the client network into new geographical markets began, winning new clients in the United States, Australia and Brazil.

2012

It considerably consolidated its presence in the North American, European and Asian markets. At the end of the year, a major strategic development and restructuring of the tailor-made service began with the aim of significantly improving this service, with improvements in delivery times, quality and reliability.

Today

The third generation of the family seeks to build on the steps started by their predecessors and has led the business in recent years, expanding it and consolidating it as one of Europe's benchmarks in customised clothing. In addition to men's clothing, Davion has launched a complete line of industrial tailoring for women.
