Brazil has always stood out as a unique fashion market.

With its strong connection to colour, print, craftsmanship, resort living and a confident approach to fashion, Brazil has many qualities that naturally align with Ecico Group’s expertise in fashion manufacturing and product development.

This September, Ecico Group will be returning to Brazil as an exhibitor at Gotex Show 2026 in São Paulo, presenting our latest resort wear collections alongside our capabilities in embroidery, prints, woven garments, tailoring and knitwear.

Understanding the Brazilian Fashion Market

Brazil is one of the most important fashion markets in Latin America and the largest apparel market in the region. Apparel demand in Brazil reached approximately US$47.9 billion in 2024, highlighting the scale and importance of the market for international fashion businesses.

But the opportunity in Brazil is about more than market size.

Brazilian fashion has a distinctive identity. Colour, bold prints, femininity, craftsmanship and an appreciation for design are deeply embedded in the market. At the same time, Brazilian brands are increasingly connected to global fashion trends and international sourcing networks.

For manufacturers like Ecico, this creates an exciting opportunity: to combine our experience in international fashion production with the creativity and commercial understanding required by the Brazilian market.

Our experience working with Brazilian fashion businesses has shown us that successful partnerships require more than simply producing garments. They require an understanding of the product, the customer, the season and the level of detail expected by each brand.

That is where our approach to manufacturing makes a difference.

Resort Wear That Goes Beyond the Beach

Resort wear is one of Ecico Group’s key areas of expertise.

We develop collections designed for the modern resort wardrobe — from lightweight dresses and printed sets to crochet, knitted pieces, embroidered garments, beach-to-evening styles and statement pieces designed to travel across different markets.

Brazil is a natural market for this category.

The country's relationship with beaches, travel, warm-weather lifestyles and outdoor culture creates strong demand for fashion that is both versatile and expressive. But today's resort customer is looking for more than a simple beach cover-up.

Resort collections have become an important part of the wider fashion wardrobe.

A printed dress can move from a holiday destination to a restaurant. An embroidered blouse can be styled with denim. A lightweight knitted piece can work as a beach layer or as part of an everyday fashion look.

This versatility is central to how we approach resort wear at Ecico.

Embroidery and Prints: Adding Character to Every Collection

One of the areas where Ecico has developed particular expertise is in embroidery and printed fashion garments.

We believe these techniques are most effective when they are integrated into the design from the beginning rather than treated simply as decoration.

Our development process allows designers and brands to explore different embroidery techniques, placements, artwork and print concepts while considering the commercial requirements of the final garment.

From intricate embroidery on lightweight fabrics to expressive all-over prints, engineered prints and decorative details, we work with brands to turn creative concepts into production-ready garments.

This is particularly relevant to resort and contemporary womenswear, where surface design can transform a simple silhouette into a distinctive fashion product.

From Creative Concept to Production

Ecico Group is built around the idea of connecting creativity with manufacturing.

Our role begins well before production. We work with fashion brands on product development, fabric and technique selection, sampling and production, helping transform an initial design concept into a finished product ready for the market.

Our capabilities cover a broad range of fashion categories, including:

• Resort wear and beachwear

• Women's woven garments

• Embroidery and printed garments

• Knitted sweaters and cardigans

• Crochet and machine crochet

• Tailoring

• Dresses, tops and bottoms

• Fashion accessories

This breadth allows us to support brands that are looking for a manufacturing partner capable of developing different product categories within the same collection.
