History
It was in 2017 when Marion, encouraged by her husband, Gauthier, decided to start her own business by offering unique, ethical, made in Europe and affordable creations.
The project is there, big and ambitious, but where to start? The biggest challenge is to find workshops that agree to collaborate with her and to believe in this crazy adventure. After many refusals, no answers, and phone hang-ups, one French workshop agreed to trust her.
Little by little, Orta's collections grew, and very quickly, she felt the need to diversify, but the limits of French manufacturing were felt.
It was not an option for Marion to abandon the workshops that had allowed her to start this adventure.
Portugal quickly became an obvious choice, specialising in knitwear, denim and many other wonders, it was ideal to keep production in Europe, workshops on a human scale, respect for the working conditions and the limitation of the carbon footprint.
