This is Lúcia Correia from Portugal. She is what Ronaldo is for the Portugese team. The Captain. Not only is she the production manager but also the founder of a family owned business and of one of our biggest suppliers for T-Shirts, Sweater and Longsleeves in Portugal. The company is situated close to Porto and was founded 1988. We work with them for more than 3 years now. The partner is Fairtrade and GOTS certified and has done alot of audits in terms of social standards.
Altogether 86 people working there currently – 69 are women.
Lúcia is a real family person. She loves travelling or spending time on the beach. At work she is always the last one to leave. Right now she is packing our next delivery. Thanks a lot and happy monday to everyone in Portugal.

Our reviewer takes CAUSEGEAR's shoulder bag into the mountains to see if it can survive mountain goat attacks. See how it handled!
