our materials
Since the very beginning of our adventure, we have bet on timeless fashion; fashion made of pieces with simple, modern cuts that carry through the years and the seasons.
We pay particular attention to the materials we use, favouring natural, certified, locally produced and unblended fabrics.
Whenever possible, we choose the fabrics for our collections from the deadstock of French luxury houses, to give them a new life and support a more circular economy.
WOOL
Wool is a fibre of animal origin, biodegradable and recyclable.
Wool is antibacterial, thermoregulating and breathable; it does not hold odours and does not crease easily.
We work with Italian wool for our knitwear, trousers, jackets, coats and more. The fibre comes from the Italian Alps and is woven in the north of Italy.
Whenever possible, we opt for recycled wool, "zero-miles" wool or naturally dyed wool.
LINEN
Linen is a natural fibre grown mainly in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
It is a strong, durable fibre. Growing it requires neither too much water nor too many pesticides. Linen is thermoregulating, breathable and antibacterial.
We work exclusively with Libeco linen, which is grown, woven and dyed in Belgium. This linen is certified 'Masters of Linen', guaranteeing strict standards in growing, weaving and spinning, as well as full traceability.
SILK
Silk is a natural fibre of animal origin, obtained from the thread that surrounds the silkworm's cocoon.
It is a delicate, luxurious material that is at once strong, fluid and soft.
The silk we work with is produced in the Lake Como region of Italy. This silk is certified by the Seri.co label, which guarantees strict ethical and environmental standards in silk weaving.
COTTON
Cotton is a plant-based natural fibre very widely used in the textile industry, but one with a heavy environmental impact.
To honour our commitments to sustainability and responsibility, we favour GOTS-certified organic cotton, recycled cotton, or cotton from the deadstock of a French luxury group.
VISCOSE
Viscose is a textile fibre of natural origin, produced from wood cellulose.
It is an artificial, chemically processed material. Viscose fabrics are very hard-wearing and versatile, but the manufacturing process is generally polluting and demanding in natural resources.
That is why we prefer Tencel, Lyocell or recycled viscose to conventional viscose. These variants, also made from wood cellulose, are produced to a strict specification and in a closed loop.
We use Tencel, Lyocell or recycled viscose for the linings of our jackets, coats, trousers and more.
#ZEROPOLYESTER
We refuse to believe that women enjoy covering themselves in plastic.
We have banned polyester since the very beginning of our adventure.
Packaging, labels, choice of raw materials — we systematically rule polyester out.
If one of our pieces does contain synthetic fibres, it is because it has been made from fabric sourced from the deadstock of a French luxury group. We give that fabric a new life by bringing it into our collections.
