Tracing Everything We Use
Sourcing haberdashery for everything we make is a tricky exercise of navigating technological advances, traditional techniques and testing the performance of biodegradable materials to be fit for their purpose. We also make sure that every item has the appropriate certifications to ensure our full tracability.
Biodegradable elastic
Over the last 5 years we have worked with technology leaders in biodegradable elastics. Together we have committed to the project 2030 Agenda, whose objective is to curb the environmental impact through sustainable water management, energy saving, material recycling, and the reduction of polluting emissions.
As a result of this sustainable challenge, our elastic range consists of of 100% ecological ribbons and cords, made from fibers of natural origin, recyclable materials, or biodegradable materials, which are of quality and have sustainability certificates.
Dentelle Calais Caudry Lace
Made from 100% cotton, the Dentelle Calais Caudry lace is steeped in history and of the highest quality.
The label Dentelle de Calais-Caudry® is a guarantee of the excellence of a product made in France, respecting the traditional skills on which it has founded its reputation.
It guarantees that this rare and precious fabric is made on Leavers looms, according to an original and unique method of thread intertwining derived from a 200-year-old tradition. The label allows people to differentiate between lace produced in Calais and Caudry and knitted mesh lace which is much more widespread.
