Nearly a century of history, an outstanding experience in the textile sector and a mind looking towards sustainability and innovation. 
Founded in 1927, Riopele is one of the oldest textile companies in Portugal and an international reference in the creation and production of fabrics for fashion and clothing collections.
José Alexandre de Oliveira, president and grandson of Riopele’s founder, has clear ideas about the situation that the fashion system is experiencing: “The textile industry is suffering a lot, primarily due to climate change and now also to Covid. Smart working also contributed to the contraction in purchases. It is no longer a temporary emergency, we must try to be positive and find new solutions to catch up.”
