where this goes when it is finished

• —Take it to a textile collection point. Clothing, household linen and shoes go to dedicated containers and drop-off points, not to household waste.
• —Worn out still counts. Torn, stained, holed, faded past use: it is still collected. Textiles that cannot be worn again are sorted for recycling into wiping cloths, insulation and fibre.
• —Clean and dry. Wash it and let it dry properly. A damp bag contaminates everything around it and the whole lot can be rejected.
• —Bagged, closed, and paired. Put it in a closed bag; tie shoes together by the laces.
• —Do not put it in with paper or packaging. Textiles have their own stream.

Collection points are listed by the French sorting authorities and by most local councils. Search for a textile drop-off point at your postcode.

Kraft mailer

Paper. Recycling bin.

Paper tape

Paper. Recycling bin, leave it on the mailer.

Delivery note

Paper. Recycling bin.

Polybag

There is none. Garments are folded straight into the mailer.

Each product page publishes the environmental characteristics of that garment: the fibre it is made from, what that means for recycling, and how it is packed. The general position is short enough to state here.

• —Single-fibre cotton makes up most of the catalogue. It goes through the textile stream and separates cleanly for fibre recovery.
• —Blends — the cotton-polyester ripstop, the padded jacket, the lined trouser — still go through the textile stream, but blended fibres lower the yield of fibre-to-fibre recycling. We say which pieces those are on their own pages.
• —Recycled polyester is used in the fleece and in the padding. It is a synthetic fibre and it sheds in the wash; a filter bag reduces that.
• —Wool is used in one jumper and goes through the textile stream.

Textile clothing placed on the French market is covered by extended producer responsibility, which funds the collection and sorting streams described above.

The legal notice and the terms of sale.

A garment that has worn through at one point is often not finished. A patch over a knee, a new zip, a reinforced seam: any of those can add years, and none of them requires us.

Where we offer repair it is a paid service with the price and the turnaround stated before the work starts. We make no promise that a particular garment can be repaired, and we do not offer repairs without limit. What the statutory guarantees cover is a separate matter and costs you nothing.
