At F.A.M. Paris, each pair of jeans is not just a garment, but the result of deep consideration where design meets durability. Because fashion is an ongoing commitment, we invite you to discover the seven key steps that bring our creations to life.
1. Material Selection: The Choice of Natural
It all starts with the earth. We meticulously select noble and responsible materials to guarantee exceptional pieces that combine resistance and comfort.
-
Priority to natural: We use 100% cotton or lyocell, high-end fabrics.
-
Reduced synthetics: We limit the use of fibers like polyester or elastane as much as possible to minimize environmental impact.
2. Dyeing and Weaving: The Indigo Heritage
Once the fiber is chosen, it is carefully transformed. We favor techniques that respect both the material and the planet:
-
Vegetable dyes: We use natural vinegar-based dyes, without chemicals.
-
Aizome technique: We perpetuate the Japanese Aizome tradition for indigo dyeing.
-
Stabilization: The denim is woven then stabilized by calendering and sanforizing before being rigorously inspected.
3. Pattern Making in Paris: Designing for Longevity
It is in the heart of Paris that Alex, Dan, and Sandy imagine the brand's future cuts and styles.
-
Beyond seasons: Our cuts are not designed for fleeting trends, but to last over time.
-
Creative ecosystem: Pattern making is designed to promote the longevity of the garment, making Paris our preferred creative destination.
4. Cutting and Assembly: The Excellence of Detail
The fabric is then entrusted to our partner workshops in China, selected for their expertise and respect for working conditions.
-
Meticulous tailoring: Each element (pockets, belt loops, fly, topstitching) is assembled with particular attention.
-
Quality Control: Strict controls are carried out at each stage to guarantee impeccable finishes.
5. Finishes and Effects: Respect for People
To achieve those "stone-wash" or faded looks you love so much, we reject dangerous methods like sandblasting.
-
Safety first: Our modern methods are safe for workers.
Strict standards: We operate in highly controlled industrial zones, subject to severe environmental standards (DB44/26-2001 standard).
6. Water Treatment: An Ecological Factory
Textile production is water-intensive, which is why we opted for circular management.
-
Filtration and Reuse: Between 85% and 95% of the water used is purified after treatment for reuse.
-
Minimized impact: Water and electricity flow are strictly controlled to minimize our ecological footprint.
7. Shipping and Product Life
Once finished, your jeans are packaged and shipped to our warehouse. But the story doesn't end there:
-
Usage durability: We encourage you to wear, care for, and repair your pieces to keep them as long as possible.
-
Reforestation: Thanks to your participation, F.A.M. Paris supports the Cœur de Forêt association. Since 2020, 500 trees have been planted in France, and we actively participate in forest preservation in Madagascar.
Wearing F.A.M. Paris jeans means choosing fashion that respects people and the planet, from the first fiber to your wardrobe. 🌍
