LES TISSAGES DE CHARLIEU (LTC) was founded in 1902 in a region with a weaving heritage dating back to the Middle Ages. During the Canut revolts in Lyon, silk manufacturers turned to the weavers of Charlieu, sparking tremendous growth for the industry, which boasted up to 10,000 looms between the World Wars. LTC designs and produces the pocket fabric for our trousers and shorts, as well as the fabric used for bias tape.
We value LTC’s commitments:
Human-centric: The company views business as a support for personal growth.
Environmentally friendly: Contributing to a decarbonized and circular textile industry.
Economically viable: Proving that textiles and jobs can be created in France.

At DOMOTEX, we found “Made in France” fabrics certified OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, REACH, and GOTS, as they are more environmentally friendly, and ensuring at least 50% of the value chain takes place in France. This also allows us, in our own way, to help sustain employment in France.
Since 1835, the company has mastered linen weaving in all its splendor. This know-how combines tradition, modernity and passion. LEMAITRE DEMEESTERE is one of the oldest textile companies in France and has established itself as a reference in the world of textiles.

LEMAITRE DEMEESTERE only uses linen from the north of France and Normandy. Their fabrics are thus recognized by the “Master of Linen” designation. LEMAITRE DEMEESTERE is committed to a fight against CO2 emissions through the geographical proximity of the places of cultivation and processing, all located in France and all this is perfectly in line with our values.

For decades, the industrial policy of this partner has focused on enhancing its expertise by constantly investing in its production tools and workforce training.
Originally, CREPIN PETIT workshops produced buttons made from natural materials such as mother-of-pearl, horn, or ivory. In the latter half of the 20th century, they acquired the skills and tools to produce synthetic buttons while continuing to offer the noble materials that established their reputation. Additionally, CREPIN PETIT is committed to sustainable development by reusing and recycling all production waste, promoting the circular economy, minimizing its environmental impact, and contributing to social and solidarity-based economics.
Myriam Joly set up one of the first herds of Angora goats in the Sidobre area of Tarn in France over 40 years ago.

French manufacturing guarantees quality and adherence to social and environmental values. BUGIS offers a range of knitted products made with organic cotton grown without pesticides or chemicals. They primarily work with European spinners and conduct all their dyeing in France using 100% natural products.
Royal Mer is a nice story that has lasted since 1946. A clever mix of traditional know-how and innovation, this French brand has stood the test of time and fashion. In this family-run business, transmission is a strong value, as the manufacture of its sweaters requires skills that can no longer be learned in school (programmers, hosiery makers, cutters, embroiderers, knitters, button makers…). Transmission, and therefore the human element, takes on a crucial dimension at the heart of the company’s life. This gives the company a unique character, and it shows in its products!
