Our values

Our very first collection was created in Nepal in 2017, following our meeting with a wonderful person who championed "Fair Trade" and meticulously practiced it in his work: yarns dyed by him, vegetable dyes, fabrics handwoven on a loom, coconut buttons, etc.

I spent two weeks in her workshop, arriving in the morning with the women who worked there and leaving in the evening at the same time as them. It was such an enriching and inspiring experience that it gave birth to my first clothing design project.

The following year, during my first trip to India lasting over six months, I met the man who would become our official and loyal tailor ever since. We immediately forged a very strong bond with him and his family and have been inseparable ever since!

He runs a family business and has successfully grown his workshop while maintaining a commitment to human values ​​for his employees and environmental protection. His production was better suited to my growing needs, and since I could no longer continue working with the previous designer, I decided to collaborate with him. I visited him for several consecutive years, each time observing the workshop's production process from thread to garment, learning, talking, and working alongside the employees. I also researched the most suitable fabrics, new fibers, and dyes for the collections I was creating, and thus launched the production of each new collection.

Each one is thus studied and developed in close collaboration with him. It's a team effort, based on close contact and trust, which works wonderfully and is very constructive.

The employees work in a friendly atmosphere, with plenty of breaks and reasonable hours. I want to emphasize these aspects of the working conditions and the human, artisanal dimension of the workshop, which are very important to us.

Together, we carefully select as many natural fibers and plant-based dyes as possible for our fabrics; the prints on our garments are done by hand using the traditional "block printing" technique. Wooden blocks are hand-carved and then transferred onto the fabric with a special ink. I personally printed the block prints for each garment in my first collection, piece by piece, with training from one of the employees. It was another incredibly enriching experience, both in terms of learning and human connection.

Environmental protection is important to us, so we are careful not to overproduce, overstock, or generate waste. Items with defects are not thrown away but sold at reduced prices to avoid waste. And of course, we use recyclable packaging. We also like to offer certain items in limited quantities for the sake of originality.

Each year we strive to improve what we can, whether it's in our collection to better satisfy our customers (and we pay close attention to their feedback), or in our environmental stewardship to do our part. The goal is to be increasingly ethical at every stage, from manufacturing to sales.
