What Is POEMS All About?
POEMS is a fresh and ambitious women’s clothing brand that’s all about creating proximity fashion — quality pieces at a fair price, with just the right touches of trends, but always rooted in timeless style. Born from a family textile factory established back in 1988, this young team blends years of know-how with the energy of a project that’s just getting started. They’re connected to the world around them and want to offer an alternative to the big multinational fashion giants. The goal? To bring a current, quality, durable, and transparent fashion proposal that feels real and accessible.
The Main Benefit: Quality Meets Ethics
POEMS stands out by focusing on:
- Timeless basic models with fluid lines that never go out of style
- Use of natural, high-quality fabrics like cotton, viscose, linen, and wool
- Locally manufactured knit fabrics, collaborating with nearby experts
- Low percentage of polyester and synthetic fibers to keep things natural
- Production entirely based in Barcelona, ensuring transparency and trust
- Unique dyeing in piece technique, giving each garment a special, one-of-a-kind look
- Ethical and local fashion democratized for everyone
Design Philosophy That Puts You First
POEMS believes personal style should always come before fleeting trends. Instead of chasing what’s hot today and gone tomorrow, they design garments meant to live in your wardrobe for years. Pieces that make you feel comfortable, current, and confident every time you wear them. It’s about creating clothes that fit your life, not the other way around.
The Fabrics: Local, Natural, and Thoughtful
Most of the knit fabrics come from local manufacturers with decades of experience — a real nod to quality and community. The collections focus on natural fibers like cotton, viscose, and linen, with just a tiny bit of synthetic material to keep things balanced. Summer fabrics mix cotton and viscose with linen and modal, while winter pieces bring in various wools to keep you cozy. It’s a fabric story that’s as much about comfort as it is about sustainability.
Dyeing in Piece: What Makes POEMS Unique
One of the coolest things about POEMS is their dyeing in piece process. Instead of dyeing fabric rolls before cutting, they make the garments in their raw color first, then dye each piece according to the collection’s palette. This technique gives every item a unique look — no two are exactly alike. Plus, it helps control production and stock, making the whole process more efficient and less wasteful. Pretty smart, right?
POEMS’ Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth — supporting local manufacturing and fair labor
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — using natural fabrics and sustainable dyeing methods
- SDG 13: Climate Action — reducing environmental impact through local production and careful material choices

Manufacturing Close to Home
Most of the garment production happens right in POEMS’ own factory, with trusted collaborators nearby in the Barcelonès area handling intermediate steps. This close-to-home approach means the first designs, samples, patterns, and prototypes all come to life under one roof. It’s a hands-on process that ensures quality and keeps the brand connected to its roots — all while supporting local industry and craftsmanship.
