About us

The market demands respect for the environment, the use of less aggressive techniques and materials and a constant optimisation of resources.

Pura Alternativa was founded in 2000, in the city of Barcelos, northern Portugal.
Besides producing for other brands, it owns Skulk a brand specialized in street wear.

Vasco Oliveira and Orlando Marco Maciel, owners and administrators of the company, lead the company as a duo. With over 20 years of experience working in the textile sector, they maintain an assertive and up-to-date vision of it, always with an eye on the future.

Technological innovation is constant, in a quest to increase production capacity as well as the variety of available techniques and processes.
The relationship with customers is long-lasting and based on constant support and assistance to their needs, from the first sketch of the piece to its delivery.

The company's main objective is to maintain growth, but always with respect for the environment and the community in which it operates, proving that environmental sustainability and social responsibility are not incompatible with economic viability.
