Our key raw material begins in the vineyards of Provence, France – where winemaking is not just a craft, but a culture.
The vineyards that surround us are tendered to and nurtured all the year round, resulting in the annual harvest in the end of August and the beginning of September, when the differing varieties of grapes are pressed for the rosé, white and red wines of Provence.
Once pressed for the wines, the grape skins, seeds, and stalks are considered as waste. This waste also known as “grape marc”, is what we work with.
We collect the grape marc directly from our partner organic Chateaux and Domaines, we transform it in Provence and then we send it to Milan, Italy, to our partner manufacturer to be made into our Biomaterials for the Fashion, Design, and Lifestyle worlds.
Our supply chain is made to be local, with as few stages and as few elements as possible. Local means creating a nearby community with shared values. Local means having a low carbon footprint and being planet respectful through shorter transportation routes. Local also means a reduced risk supply chain.
