Discover CABANE, Valentine Gauthier’s Fall Winter 2023 collection.

80% of the cotton we use in our collections is certified organic. We choose to use seeds, not genetically modified, from organic farming from India, grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and certified by the GOTS label, Global Organic Textile Standard. The Alpaca wool we use comes from Peru. The silky fibers are long and thin, giving it a softer and stronger quality than other fibers. The alpaca is an “ecological” animal insofar as its breeding produces very little greenhouse gas. We use viscose from sustainable forests in Europe, to protect the forests and the species that live there. vegetable tanning is an ancestral and natural technique. The process involves immersing the skins in plant substances, called tannins, such as wood, bark of chestnut, oak, walnut, sumac, bramble and berries. Vegetable tanned leather does not contain any harmful toxic substances and the use of natural tannin ensures low environmental impact. It is breathable, insulating, stretchy, tear and abrasion resistant, and moisture wicking. Lenzing ™ Tencel, also called lyocell, is a biodegradable cellulosic fiber made from eucalyptus pulp and dissolved in an environmentally friendly solvent. Growing the trees needed to produce Lyocell does not require irrigation or pesticides. We use Ahimsa silk, from Buddhism, which is a non-violent silk. This process allows the completion of the silkworm towards its butterfly stage.

The entire wardrobe of Valentine Gauthier, in an eco-responsible and sustainable fashion perspective, uses ecological materials as much as possible, combined with a sober production by limited edition series. Ethical, eco-responsible and high-end fashion is not only possible but also essential to deal with the upheavals we are currently witnessing. You can find all our commitments here.
