🌾 Linen
Linen is the best fiber. It grows in France (Normandy is the world's leading linen producer 🇫🇷), requires no pesticides or lots of water, and is naturally soft and hardwearing. We all remember our parents' linen suits that wrinkled as soon as they came out of the closet. But the industry has made a lot of progress in this area, and today offers us cool, comfortable products.
♻ Upcycling
The art of reclaiming existing fabrics or products to create new pieces. You've probably heard of dormant stocks, all those unused rolls lying around in warehouses. This brand revalorizes these fabrics to avoid waste, and we love it!
👞 Leather
When we think of a piece we'll keep for life, we often think of leather. Our good quality leather shoes, bags and jackets will be worn hundreds of times and passed from hand to hand for many years to come.
There are many questions surrounding the use of leather, its provenance, tanning and alternatives. At Rafale, we choose to offer you quality leathers from certified tanneries.
