Our mission: to make impact textile products that replace plastic, disposables and synthetics with eco-friendly materials.

Through our organic and recycled cotton products (GOTS and GRS certified), we support companies of all sizes and in a wide range of sectors in their ecological transition (food, fashion, cosmetics, culture, luxury goods, spirits...).

Since 2020, we've also been offering our customers a Made in France offering, thanks to the opening of our own garment workshop in Laval, Mayenne.
