OUR COMMITMENTS
Our commitments: craftsmanship, quality and local livelihoods
Support local livelihoods in France’s overseas territories: sewing supply shops, seamstresses and jobs in Guadeloupe and Les Saintes. Discover our Made in France clothing.
I support the local economy
On our product labels and our website, this emblem carries a simple promise: every purchase supports the local economy. In Guadeloupe and Les Saintes, that means buying from local sewing supply shops, working with local seamstresses and creating jobs through our business.
It also reflects the care we put into our creations: selecting fabrics and base products, finishing each piece, producing quality prints and checking our work. In our shops, we take time to offer advice and explain what we do.
The work we do depends on the product: we make our sewn pieces in our workshops, while our T-shirts are sourced from textile manufacturers and then printed in-store. Fabrics and base products have their own origins, which we explain in our product information and on the relevant items.
Our clothing: made in France’s overseas territories
Our wax print and madras pieces are designed, cut and sewn entirely in our workshops in Guadeloupe and Les Saintes. That is what Made in France means for us in the French Caribbean: local craftsmanship, from fabric to finished piece.
The same tailor crafts each piece entirely and oversees it until the final inspection. This continuity allows perfect knowledge of the fabric, pattern and cut, with the care of true artisanal work.
Fabrics carefully chosen and sourced with precision.
Our madras is woven in France. Our wax print fabrics come from several known sources, and we know the workshops that make them. We choose them for their colours, flexibility, comfort and durability. Learn more about our selection of wax prints.
For T-shirts, we carefully select fabric quality, cut, comfort, and durability before choosing a model.
Sewn and printed by us, on-site
Our small batches of T-shirts are printed by us on site, in our workshop-shops in Terre-de-Haut and Saint-François. Our original illustrations are positioned, printed, and checked by our team before sale.
The “Create your T-shirt” range is printed on demand according to the chosen combination. In both ranges, we pay the same attention to placement, sharpness, and durability of the motif.
Made-to-order t-shirts: our own ink
For the Create your T-shirt, we make our own ink, hypoallergenic and solvent-free.
The ink integrates inside the T-shirt fiber: the design does not create any raised area and keeps impeccable quality through washes. This specific process explains the exclusive black printing of this on-demand range.
Produce just the right amount
Our handmade clothing collections and our T-shirts printed by us on site are offered in small batches that change regularly. The “Create your T-shirt” range is printed on demand, on a dedicated men's and women's range, with our available illustrations.
This organization helps us avoid standardized volumes and limit unsold stock, while allowing our collections to live and change with fabrics, colours, and designs.
Pieces designed to last and adapt.
Our clothes are designed to fit different body shapes and accompany movements. For children, some adaptable pieces adjust to growth so they can be worn for several years.
We complete this work with careful finishing, quality garments and sharp prints made to last. Discover the handmade clothing collection and the small batches of T-shirts.
