Five new European makers on InEurope: from Portuguese slow fashion to Lithuanian bike leather
In the past weeks, five new makers have joined InEurope – all 100% made in Europe, but each with its own story. From ocean‑inspired slow fashion in Portugal to precision backpacks in Czechia and leather bike accessories from Vilnius, here is a short tour of the latest additions to the map.
Seapath – ocean‑driven slow fashion from Portugal
Portuguese clothing maker built around the Atlantic ocean, surfing and a slower pace of life. Everything is produced in small batches in northern Portugal, using deadstock, organic cotton and recycled fabrics that founders Mário and Regi personally select at their long‑term partner Larga Imagem.
Garments are sewn in a small family‑run atelier structure and the brand communicates with radical transparency about who cut and stitched your piece – slow fashion as a way of living, not just a marketing line.
REHOSE – premium backpacks from South Bohemia, Czechia
REHOSE is the brand of Martin Kubes, a former firefighter from České Budějovice who now channels his precision into packs. Each backpack is handmade in Czechia, using X‑Pac, YKK zippers, EVA foam and two malleable aluminium stays for fit and carrying comfort.
Production is made‑to‑order or in small runs, with generous options to customise colours and materials, aimed at travellers who want one backpack for years instead of the next mass‑market logo.
DILLING – merino and organic cotton everyday wear from Denmark
DILLING is a Danish family company making underwear and everyday clothing from merino wool and organic cotton since 1916. The brand uses GOTS‑certified wool and cotton, dyes in its own Danish facility under the Nordic Swan ecolabel and keeps sewing within Europe, so the entire chain stays in the region.
The focus is on skin‑friendly, natural materials and avoiding harmful chemicals, which makes their pieces suitable from baby to adult and positions them as reliable base layers rather than throwaway fashion.
Little by Little – Belgian running wear with a zero‑waste mindset
Little by Little creates running wear in Edegem, produced entirely in Belgium from recycled materials. The first collection is inspired by the GR 5A along the Belgian coast: every garment is named after a place like Hoge Blekker or Doornpanne, so you literally run in the landscape you see on the map.
Leftover fabrics do not end up in the bin: they are turned into a limited winter collection, with pieces such as the Zeebos long‑sleeve and Het Zwin tights that are built from those offcuts.
Street Skins – leather cycling accessories from Vilnius, Lithuania
Street Skins from Vilnius designs and hand‑saddle‑stitches leather accessories for cyclists: handlebar and saddle bags, leg protectors, belts and small everyday‑carry items. Products are made from vegetable‑tanned full‑grain leather sourced in Italy, combined with climbing‑grade hardware from several European countries.
With a seven‑year warranty, including five years of free repairs, Street Skins clearly positions itself as “buy once, use for decades” for riders who see their accessories as part of their identity.
One shared line
What ties these five brands together is not a single product category but a shared choice: 100% European production and people‑centred structures. Whether you are looking for a new merino base layer, a premium carry‑on backpack, locally made running kit or leather bike gear, each of these makers shows that “Made in Europe” is a concrete, accessible option today.
