Upcycled Wool Gabardine
Naturally stretchy and waterproof, gabardine is a fabric with a very tight weave which makes it robust. Made to last over time and soften over the years, gabardine is particularly suitable for jackets and coats. We chose an upcycled wool gabardine from Nona Source: made of 99% virgin wool with 1% elastane and woven in Italy.
A Straight Cut
Neither too tight nor too oversized: we have optimized the cut to suit as many body types as possible. Slightly masculine, its straight cut is also suitable for larger busts. You feel free in your movements.
Lining & Real Pockets
No compromise on quality or details. We have perfected the pattern of the Kate jacket by providing it with a lining for greater comfort, as well as real pockets to give it a practical and more casual side.
Couture Buttons & Buckle
One of the Facettes Studio signatures is the button covered in ultra elegant tone-on-tone fabric. Each button is individually covered in a workshop in Paris which works for the most beautiful houses. The Kate vest also has a belt tab at the back with a fabric-covered buckle to tighten and adjust the size.
Made in France
In order to limit pollution linked to production and guarantee ethical manufacturing, we have chosen a local workshop based in Paris in the 18th arrondissement for the making of our clothes.
Upcycled Materials
We only use existing stocks from French and Italian luxury houses. We carefully choose our materials for a perfect fit, adapted to the style of the room. To go further, we have chosen to ban polyester and polyamide from our materials in order not to participate in the phenomenon of micro-plastic pollution.
Reasoned Production
In order to avoid overproduction and possible waste, we prefer to create less but better, slowly but fairly. We take the time to perfect our patterns and the limited stocks of upcycled materials force us to produce in small batches.
Fair Price
By working without intermediaries and having the lightest possible structure, we can apply the fairest margins, lower than the standards of premium brands. Instead of inflating prices and then offering you sales, we prefer to offer you a fair price throughout the year.
