This facilities hold around 2.000.000 pieces from all periods and the atelier which is run by by María Gonzaga. It is there where all the women´s costumes that the Company offers in its different venues are made. Costume designers from around the world have placed their trust in the expert hands that run the Portuguese headquarters. “Quality, speed and kindness are our pillars”, confirms Alejandro Toledo.
Peris Costumes Lisbon rents and makes costumes for all types of projects although the mayority of the work volume falls on spots, series and costumes created for all the company´s headquarters.

Something which is worth mentioning is that María Gonzaga, Alejandro´s right hand, started in this industry 40 years ago.

Of courses, Toledo focuses on the future growth: “Portugal is seeing its best days, we will work towards one objetive: that our atelier becomes one of the most important in Europe”.
