"“In the ‘90s, Portugal was the ‘China of Europe,’ with very low prices, lower quality and mass production, mainly targeting European markets. Since Portugal joined the Euro, labour costs increased significantly. At the same time, the Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Brazilian and North African producers got much better in terms of quality and flexibility. The result was a period of transition with low quality producers going out of business and being replaced by fast growing high-end factories,”"Estamos agora a viver o momento 3 e, para quem vê ao longe e tem paciência estratégica, há uma oportunidade de fugir da guerra do preço e da luta no lago dos tubarões:
"“Portugal is an excellent source ... “One, it has very similar craftsmanship to Italy and France with significantly lower labour costs. Two, the industry is composed of small-scale factories with very low minimums, which attract higher-end designers and top-tier ranges. And three, it is easy, cheap, super-quick, normally three days for the import of raw materials such as hides, heels, outsoles, trims, metal components, etcetera from Italy, France and the UK, as well as decent local component supply.”Agora é o momento para os líderes se concentrarem na construção, na transição do momento 3 para um futuro momento 4.
