FRANCE


The main fabrics come from the east of France. Woven on machines sources from across France and restored and run by a one man operation. Carefully researching and recreating traditional workwear fabrics.

All parts of the weaving process take place at this location. From preparing the bobbins to the final fabric. The age of each restored machine ranges from 1907-1985.

HUNGARY

Hungary’s local fabric houses have all closed, but one tradition still remains: the Kékfestő dye house. As a homage each garment carries this traditional fabric with it wherever the garments goes.

Sourced from one of the last traditional and multi generational Hungarian blue dyeing house founded in 1810.
