<tc>our materials</tc>
Since the beginning, we have aimed for timelessness, with simple yet modern pieces that last for many seasons and years.
The finest garments start with the finest materials and we put great care into selecting high quality natural materials, certified and produced locally. Whenever possible we choose our fabrics from the deadstocks of large luxury fashion houses, in order to give them new life.
WOOL
Wool is a biodegradable and recyclable fiber of animal origin.
Wool is anti-bacterial, thermoregulating and breathable, it does not retain odors and does not crease easily. It is therefore not essential to wash it regularly, airing will do the trick.
Wool is an eco-responsible and durable material, robust and solid, you will keep your wool pieces for a long, very long time.
The wool we use comes from the United Kingdom or Italy. We favor 'zero-miles' wool whose fiber comes from sheep raised in the Italian Alps or the English countryside.
Whenever possible, we opt for recycled wool or wool dyed exclusively with natural elements (plants, berries, flowers).
LINEN
Linen is a natural fiber grown mainly in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
It is a strong and durable fiber. Its cultivation requires neither too much water nor too many pesticides. Linen is thermo-regulating, breathable and, like wool, anti-bacterial.
It is a local and eco-responsible fiber, pleasant to wear all year round.
We work exclusively with Libeco linen, which is harvested, woven and dyed in Belgium. This linen is certified 'Masters of Linen'.
SILK
Silk is a natural fibre of animal origin obtained from the thread that surrounds the silkworm cocoon.
It is a delicate and luxurious material that is both strong, fluid and soft.
The silk we work with is produced in the Lake Como region in Italy. This silk is certified by the Seri.co label, which guarantees strict ethical and environmental standards related to silk weaving.
COTTON
Cotton is a natural plant-based fibre widely used in the textile industry, but it has a significant impact on the environment.
In order to uphold our commitments to sustainability and responsibility, we prioritize GOTS-certified organic cotton, recycled cotton, or cotton sourced from the deadstock of a French luxury group.
VISCOSE
Viscose is a textile fibre of natural origin produced from wood cellulose.
It is a man-made chemical material. Viscose fabrics are very durable and versatile, but their manufacturing process is generally polluting and requires a large amount of natural resources.
For this reason, we prefer Tencel, Lyocell or recycled viscose over conventional viscose. Indeed, these viscose alternatives, also made from wood cellulose, are produced according to strict specifications and in a closed-loop process.
We use Tencel, Lyocell or recycled viscose for the linings of our jackets, coats, trousers, etc.
#ZEROPOLYESTER
If one of our pieces contains synthetic fibres, it means it was made from fabrics sourced from the deadstock of a French luxury group. We give this fabric a new life by incorporating it into our collections.
