Sustainable, Local Production
We hand-select only the finest, quality OEKO-TEX® certified EU linen, along with: French cotton, silks, and luxury deadstock from only the finest producers. To us, slow fashion means quality, over quantity, with sustainable design always top of mind.
Why We Use Linen
Tarik has selected linen as the primary material in her collections due to its sustainable properties. Linen is derived from the flax plant and ours is 100% of European and French origin. Linen is one of the oldest and most environmentally-friendly fibers and it requires far less water to grow than cotton, and doesn't need pesticides or chemical fertilizers to thrive.
Linen is one of the most biodegradable, breathable and stylish fabrics available. It’s strong, quick-drying and naturally moth resistant. When untreated (ie not dyed) in our natural or flax colors, it is fully biodegradable. Its naturally-occurring colours include ivory, ecru, tan, and grey and why you may find variations from time-to-time, depending on that season's crop.
Linen can withstand high temperatures—making the fabric ideal summers in Provence and holiday travel, as it also absorbs moisture without holding bacteria. In fact, it is actually stronger when wet than dry and becomes softer and more pliable the more it is washed.
Ethical, Local & Sustainable Production
We use a pre-order system to help us plan for demands and sizing to avoid over-producing. All of our collections are made with the utmost in quality in the finest French ateliers, in both Provence and Paris, proudly working locally with highly skilled couturières and seamstresses in France.
