❏ We make sure to use renewable energy, because that's Eco-responsable: Use of recovery processes (production waste, waste), waste treatment (waste water, manufacturing defects, packaging), thus reducing their consumption (water, energy), and which use renewable energy.
❏ Recycling/Upcycling: Instead of producing more toxic fibres, let's recycle the ones we already have: Recycled fibres (even synthetic) can have a less harmful ecological impact on the environment than the manufacture of new natural fibres.
❏ Zero waste: To fight against waste. Zero waste is achieved by allowing used textiles to be used for other purposes (insulation, car seat upholstery, etc.) or by diverting a used product to create clothing.
❏ Fair Trade: Responsible purchasing guarantees workers decent wages and working conditions and ensures the sustainability of know-how and traditions. We are convinced that today's purchases influence tomorrow's development.
❏ We care much more about you than profit: A Social Solidarity Economy that is committed to reconciling economic activity and equity and that places people and not profit at the centre of activity.
❏ Unique: Because each piece is unique in our company, either handmade or with different fabrics / materials each time.
❏ Collaborative economy: We support the sharing of resources, means, tools, spaces, know-how, etc. that help to avoid waste. Pooling benefits everyone.
❏ Made in Local: Local trade meets the 3 pillars of Sustainable Development by promoting local jobs and limiting the carbon footprint.
We favour small creators and craftsmen.
We favour small creators and craftsmen.
❏ Know-how: By supporting creators and traditional know-how, we promote collective intelligence and the transmission of knowledge. Let us value the craftsmen who make our clothes with love.
❏ Handmade: For us, the handmade product is a guarantee of quality, whether you are the author or the fruit of a creator.
❏ Animal Friendly / Vegan: We love animals and prefer they live ! So we use an alternative: Let us contribute to the preservation of the environment and take care of our health by favouring natural or organic materials that are produced sustainably.
❏ Organic - Organic farming: Our preference for organic farming is obvious: GMO-free, without chemicals (such as pesticides or petroleum products), it uses natural resources in a rational way (water and energy savings).
❏ Importance of quality: Clothing must be designed to last. We attach great importance to the material and finishing of the clothes.
❏ Minimalism: We believe that a dressing room made up of a few well-chosen rooms is the basis of an eco-responsible wardrobe.
