Bordal
Madeira Embroidery Factory
Embroidering History
Bordal - Bordados da Madeira was founded in 1962 and, since then, it became one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of the famous and handmade Madeira Embroidery.
Bordal - Bordados da Madeira tries to keep tradition alive and continues to work to perpetuate this ancestral knowledge. Madeira Embroidery is part of the history and roots of each Madeiran House.
A century ago there were about 100 Embroidery Houses open. Today, there's just about a handful.

From decoration to collection, all products follow strict control and quality processes.
