Limited number of pieces: our fashion alternative

11 April, 2023 / Leave a Comment

Why limited quantities pave the way to sustainable fashion

The production of a limited number of pieces represents an alternative in the fashion industry. Indeed, it is a viable approach towards sustainable fashion.

It means producing much less without forcing the market to pursue never-ending growth. The purpose is to limit the impact of the fashion industry on the planet while protecting workers with decent wages. But, at the same time, offering quality and not quantity to consumers.
We are far from the scarcity principle and the fear of missing out, developed to manipulate people’s behaviour. Those patterns fake scarcity to hide a system of overproduction. Because of this massified production, the fashion system needs parallel markets, frequent markdowns and marketing tricks to push people to consume more and more.

The sustainable solution

Garments and accessories made by skilled tailors or crafted by artisans. In the hands of a healthier and more balanced manufacturing chain, those limited production would have a lower impact on the planet. This system includes small reorders and a made-to-order service for retailers. In the end, clients would get real quality pieces made to last rather than disposable fashion.

Unique fashion and sustainability: a limited number of pieces, our retail approach

We have reduced the quantities we buy from each brand we select. Perhaps they are not happy with it, but they cannot deny there’s a new reality, so we must face it and find solutions. Even though some brands come from Japan, which you may consider less sustainable, since quantities are small, the impact is low. Microscopic compared to the fashion supermarkets like big retailers or dept. stores.

Indeed, a limited number of pieces is our commitment to uniqueness and sustainability. Specifically, we are satisfied with Marc Le Bihan, who gave the opportunity of a made-to-order service to those who appreciate his unique designs.

Eventually, we can foster the status quo, pursuing an exploitative system. Or, we can explore alternatives.
We chose to work for a different possibility, an evolution, a change for the better. And a limited number of pieces is our commitment to unique fashion and sustainability.

The Open-Back Cotton Dress

22 March, 2023

A Spring/Summer masterpiece

Today we introduce The Open-Back Cotton Dress – by Marc Le Bihan.
A style which reveals contrasts: avant-garde and bucolic, dark and romantic, rich but effortless.

This robe tablier in cotton voile is a timeless piece which shows Marc Le Bihan’s mastery and his unique vision of fashion. Made by hand in his atelier in Paris, it’s for a specific niche of people who can understand the designer’s unconventional creativity and exceptional quality. So, a meaningful garment made to last and stand out with that nonchalant elegance typical of Marc Le Bihan.

About the design
The shape recalls an apron dress with a square cut neckline along the front. Two front straps in grosgrain connect with two back ones by creating a neat and sophisticated open-back design. Also, the open-back is adjustable thanks to a drawstring along the neckline, which enriches the fluid silhouette.
It’s a fully lined garment. Specifically, the lining cut is asymmetric and peaks through the hemline, giving a bodied shape and no see-through effect. Under-knee length with a raw-cut hemline.
The fit is comfortable but very stylish, and you will not go unnoticed.

About the material
100% cotton voile. Even though fully lined, the material is lightweight and fresh. Moreover, the hand of the fabric is slightly creased, highlighting the effortlessness of the dress.

About the colour
White: a candid and pure colour with an aristocratic image.

Laundry
Dry clean.
However, it is possible to wash carefully by hand in cold water with very soft soap. Please, wash it separately.

The Open-Back Cotton Dress is perfect for the Spring/Summer summer season. But it’s beautiful also in a layered styling. So, try it with a wool jacket or a cable knit cardigan when the weather gets colder.

The Asymmetric Silk Top

18 March, 2023

Uncompromised fashion

Finally, and long-awaited, today we introduce The Asymmetric Silk Top – by Marc Le Bihan.

After giving you more information about the work of Marc Le Bihan designer and his uncompromised vision of fashion, it’s time to discover his unique pieces.

What stands out is that garments designed with mastery don’t need marketing labels (which are frequently fluff or fake). Why? Because those pieces have a soul. Therefore, they incapsulate all the values such as timelessness and sustainability now popular in fashion. But for a more selected audience who can understand good design and quality, straight to the point.

Discover The Asymmetric Silk Top

About the design
The idea starts from a slip top, two thin straps and a v neckline along the front and back. Specifically, two overlapped layers of silk, with raw-cut hemline, shape an asymmetric drape along the right side, which recalls a long tail. Indeed, in the unique silhouette and richness of the material lies the absolute beauty of the design.

About the material
100% silk. The hand is soft and slightly shiny. Moreover, its creased effect makes this top suitable not only for special occasions but for a dose of nonchalant elegance.

About the colour
Rose poudre: a delicate dusty shade which is feminine and easy to match.

Laundry

This statement top is seasonless and timeless, and it works from elegant to refined-cool situations.
Our styling tips: try it with a maxi skirt or a white or black tuxedo for elegant occasions. But we like it with red or denim too for aperitivo or dinner. And why not with a pair of shorts and flat sandals for your summer evenings.

The Asymmetric Silk Top will make you feel unique wherever you are.
