Our Story
During the time that I was working in one of the most prestigious textile companies in Peru, I identified that many brands were looking for a high quality product that vertical companies offered, but due to their high minimum order quantities, it was impossible for these brands to get access to it.
This is how I came up with the idea of serving these brands by offering them a product of the highest quality, with reasonable minimum order quantities and competitive prices.
Due to proximity, we started with clients located in south america, but always with the aim of offering our Pima Cotton to clients all around the world. Thus, after the second year of setting up the company, we opened our office in Paris and started contacting many clients located in France.
Since then, we have not stopped working in France, and then we have incorporated clients in England, Italy, Canada, USA, Australia, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, some of which we have been working with for over 25 years and still going strong.
Our goal has always been that our clients find in Gaitex a true strategic partner in the journey of developing, growing and consolidating their brand.
