Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
Primarily operating as a textile archive based in Lyon, France, this company has provided a historical and private collection of original documents, drawings, and textiles spanning four centuries. With a history dating as far back as 1785, this company of then luxury ribbon manufacturing merged with silk producers to finally forming an operating Maison in the 1920's. The elegant textile archives provide innovative and modern silk deadstock that is repurposed, contributing to a cyclical system and eliminating waste. They are dedicated to improving production and manufacturing practices and specifically minimize their impact on the environment.
This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory. It was initially founded in 1957 as a traditional tailor shop, transitioning to become a factory in 1985. Today it is run by the founder’s daughter and her husband.
