The different types of customizable tote bags we offer

The different materials for our tote bags

Our organic cotton tote bags

Organic cotton is grown without GMOs, pesticides or toxic, polluting phytosanitary products. Organic cotton is known for its low water consumption. Our organic cotton comes from a subtropical region in India, where climatic conditions are ideal and require no irrigation.

All our organic cotton tote bags are GOTS-certified, a label with the highest environmental and social standards.

Our recycled cotton tote bags

Recycled cotton is the best way to preserve natural resources and reduce both waste and the ecological footprint of the textile industry.

Our recycled cotton tote bags are made from recycled fibers and are GRS-certified. Our recycling loop also gives a second life to your textile waste (scraps, unsold items).

The GRS label guarantees that at least half the fibers making up a tote bag are recycled. It also ensures perfect fiber traceability and impeccable composition, and reflects the environmental and social commitment of every player in the value chain.

Our customizable linen tote bags

Flax is a natural plant material that requires little water: it grows without irrigation in temperate zones. France is the world's leading producer of flax.

The Master of Linen label guarantees the traceability of linen on a European scale.

Our hemp tote bags

Hemp is a material that requires little water and fertilizer. It also has an exceptional quality: its ability to capture CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Thus, one hectare of hemp absorbs as much CO2 as one hectare of forest.France is the third largest producer of hemp.

Our recycled polyester tote bags

Recycled polyester makes it possible to recycle industrial residues from the plastics industry, saving the resources needed to produce virgin material for tote bags.

Our upcycled tote bags

Upcycling, or overcycling, is the process of giving an object a second life as a new, higher-quality product. This extends the durability of textiles and saves natural resources in the creation of a new material for your tote bags. We firmly believe that it embodies the future of fashion.

Upcycling implies to see an object from another angle, and takes its marks in the circular economy as well as in fashion... It is a real creativity booster for our Design Studio!
