A passion for sustainable fashion

 

According to Annick Jéhanne, president of Fashion Green Hub, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of a sustainable lifestyle and sustainable fashion (la mode durable) across France. More specifically, individuals prefer sustainable fashion and jeans made in France or close by. French consumer are also "transforming how they buy clothing, leaning towards zero waste and buying less" says Annick Jéhanne. Partly for these reasons, we see a continuously growing interest in our approach to sustainable fashion and have enjoyed some great partnerships across the country.

Our favourite French partner stores

 

MUD Jeans are sold in over 60 stores all over France. Here's three of our favourite ones:

 

1. Venitz

 

Venitz is a sustainable boutique in the heart of Biarritz selling sustainable fashion that is recycled, organic, handmade, and/or made in France. What we especially love about them: their couture upcycling line. After 14 years of working at Chanel ateliers, Morgane now gives second hand, vintage and unsold items a second life as beautiful, unique pieces. See more here.

 

 

 

 

2. Mat Green Concept

 

After growing up on an island, Mathilde pursued a career in fashion in Paris but quickly noticed all that went wrong in the industry. So she opened her own sustainable concept store in Bordeaux focusing on ethical, responsible and organic fashion based in Europe.

 

 

 

 

3. Aujourd’hui Demain

 

We also love this vegan concept store based in Paris. Visit them to find ethical, eco-responsible and vegan fashion but also pottery, cosmetics, and more. The best part: they also offer vegan delicious & beautiful pastries and cakes.
