Davion – Indústria de Vestuário, S.A., headquartered in Oliveira do Hospital – Coimbra, with more than seven decades of activity, stands out as one of the international benchmark companies in the luxury tailoring and made-to-measure clothing sector. Founded in 1953 by Alexandre de Brito, the company soon distinguished itself for the quality of its tailoring, the precision of its craftsmanship, and its excellent service. Today, it is still managed by the third generation of the family, keeping alive the founding spirit.
Growth and internationalization path
Throughout its history, Davion has successfully adapted to market changes, combining artisanal tradition with technological innovation. The company has grown consistently, investing in differentiated tailoring techniques — such as Full Canvas, Half Canvas, and Soft Tailored constructions — and has consolidated a prestigious position with clients in more than 50 countries.
Innovation has been a central pillar: the company developed a sophisticated online ordering and tracking system that allows Made-to-Measure clients to follow in real time all stages of the production process, from fabric reception to final shipment. This approach ensures transparency, accuracy, and on-time delivery, strengthening trust in international markets.
Structure and areas of expertise
With around 330 highly qualified employees, Davion is dedicated to producing a wide range of men’s and women’s tailoring pieces, with a focus on personalization and flexibility. The company’s customization platform is now considered one of the most complete in the sector, offering countless options tailored to clients’ demands and to the detail that defines the Made-to-Measure segment.
Vision for the future
The continuous investment in innovation and sustainability has allowed Davion to remain a reference in the Portuguese and international textile sector. The future involves consolidating its presence in strategic markets, strengthening international partnerships, and valuing the tradition of national tailoring.
As it celebrates more than seven decades of history, Davion unveils its new rebranding under the motto “Dare to be Different”, a manifesto that reflects the boldness and uniqueness of the brand. More than just a signature, this identity embodies the spirit of differentiation that has always defined the company — from artisanal quality to the ability to innovate and personalize each piece. With this new positioning, Davion reaffirms its capacity for reinvention and responsiveness to new consumer demands, projecting the heritage of Made in Portugal to the world and establishing itself as an icon of sophistication, modernity, and exclusivity.
