OUR COMMITMENTS
Our commitments: craftsmanship, quality and local livelihoods
Clothing made in our workshops in Guadeloupe and Les Saintes, printing in store, supplies from local sewing shops and local jobs: discover our commitments.
I support the local economy
In Guadeloupe and Les Saintes, we buy from local haberdasheries, work with local seamstresses and create jobs.
Our team selects the fabrics and blanks, pays close attention to finishing and checks print quality. In store, we take the time to advise you and explain our work.
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.
Pieces designed and sewn in our workshops
Our pieces are designed, cut and sewn entirely in our workshops in Guadeloupe and Les Saintes. We work with 100% cotton wax print and madras fabrics.
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.
Printing our illustrations in store
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 range Create your T-shirt, we make our own ink, hypoallergenic and solvent-free.
The ink fuses into the T-shirt’s fiber so the design has no raised texture and lasts well through washes. This special technique explains the exclusive black-only print 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.
Small batches let us match production to demand and refresh our collections as fabrics, colours and drawings change.
Pieces designed to last and adapt.
Some of our handmade pieces have adjustable features to change the fit. Children’s growing-with-you styles can also be worn in different ways as they grow.
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.
