Davion – Indústria de Vestuário, S.A., headquartered in Oliveira do Hospital – Coimbra, with more than seven decades of activity, stands out as an international benchmark in the luxury tailoring and made-to-measure clothing sector. Founded in 1953 by Alexandre de Brito, the company quickly distinguished itself through the quality of its tailoring, the precision of its craftsmanship, and its excellent service. Today, it continues to be managed by the family’s third generation, keeping the founding spirit alive.
Growth and internationalization journey
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 built a prestigious position with clients in more than 50 countries.
Innovation has been a key driver: the company developed a sophisticated online ordering and tracking system that allows Made-to-Measure clients to follow all stages of the production process in real time, from fabric reception to final shipment. This approach ensures transparency, precision, and on-time delivery, reinforcing trust in international markets.
Structure and fields of activity
With around 330 highly qualified employees, Davion is dedicated to producing a wide range of men’s and women’s tailoring pieces, focusing 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 level of detail that defines the Made-to-Measure segment.
Vision for the future
Ongoing investment in innovation and sustainability has enabled Davion to remain a benchmark in the Portuguese and international textile sector. The future lies in 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 characterized 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.
