The objective of this study is investigating the Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) of Clothing in Espinosa – Minas Gerais State and its impact on boosting the region's economy. The method took into consideration secondary data about the region and mainly primary data obtained from field research and semi-structured interviews with company managers and representatives of the Government, Consultancies and Institutions directly or indirectly involved in the governance of the Arrangement. The research has a qualitative nature based on the analysis of the information collected. The results point to a rich experience in relationships and cooperation between companies and the main links that participate in the production process. The LPA of Clothing, as it is known, is located in the far north of Minas Gerais State, a semi-arid region far from the major industrial and commercial centers in Brazil, so that, through local initiative, it has developed an unexpected trajectory. It has a notorious impact on the regional economy, creates jobs, distributes income, generates knowledge, forms manpower, and givesstability and dignity to people in the region. However, there are still some weaknesses in collective actions and forms of institutional cooperation that need to be improved with the involvement of all agents that constitute the LPA's governance.
