Responsible and sustainable fashion

Today’s society invites us to consume at a faster pace than ever before. Thanks to mass production, we can afford to simply throw away products we no longer want, and replace them instantly. Fast-Fashion features attractively low prices, low-cost production in foreign countries, using synthetic fabrics, and with no visibility into the working conditions of the workers. As a result, the products produced are of lower quality, with very short life expectancies. The fashion industry is one of the worst of its kind, with mass production occurring on a scale that is no longer sustainable.

With the creation of the LA JAQUETTE brand in September 2020, we wanted to give meaning to our products and build authentic values ​​behind the brand name.

Support local and sustainable production

We are proud to promote the rich know-how of French industry and preserve the authenticity of French manufacturing. All our pieces are made in our Parisian workshop by craftsmen who are passionate about their craft. Currently 10 craftsmen are involved in our project and little by little we hope to be able to develop our activities and thus create new jobs in France.

Reduce environmental impact

In 2015, the textile industry emitted more than 1.715 million tons of CO2, used 79 billion cubic meters of water and generated 92 million solid waste, according to the Pulse of the Fashion Industry Report . Worrying data that makes it the second most polluting industry on the planet, after the oil sector. With our local production we wanted to reduce the environmental impact as well as encourage sustainable development.

Choose Upcycling

Did you know that every year, between 10,000 and 20,000 tonnes of textile products are destroyed in France?

Upcycling is an emerging practice that is already a big trend. With upcycling we avoid waste and reduce the production of waste and finally we bring added value to the final product.

Our jacket collections are created in limited editions with fabric scraps from the stocks of the greatest French fashion houses. Each fabric has been given a new life and remains unique.

Favor natural fabrics

By choosing clothing made from natural materials rather than synthetic ones, we contribute to preserving the environment. Synthetic fibers (polyester, acrylic or nylon) all come from a very polluting industry, petrochemicals (set of technologies using oil or natural gas to manufacture synthetic chemical compounds).

At LA JAQUETTE we only use natural fabrics, for example 100% wool, 70% wool and 30% angora, 100% cotton which help to preserve our environment and at the same time keep us warm.

Restoring value to clothes

By consuming so many clothes, we no longer give them the value they deserve (we throw them away so easily).

At LA JAQUETTTE we prioritize quality, durability and beauty. We produce timeless, timeless and chic jackets that can live a long life.

At LA JAQUETTE we strongly believe in small changes that can have big impacts.
