Ecological & French paddings
Opportunity for Women is concerned about tracing the origin of its products for a more ecological footprint. We took the time to look for a supplier who meets our criteria. It is important for us to have recycled products of French or European origin, to limit the carbon footprint of transport.
We discovered L a draperie in Valencia, which is keen to sell recycled products.
Alexandre Dupuy is the head of this company. He shares his story with us:
“ It was in 2012 that I discovered the world of household linen with a family rich in history and know-how in the textile industry. That's when I caught the "virus" of beautiful linen.
In 2018, after various professional experiences, the boutique, “La Draperie”, a friendly and warm place around beautiful linen, material, color and decoration was born in Valence.
The La draperie boutique also offers custom orders. This is how we started working with them. The cushion fillings they offer us are part of the standard range, with a polycotton cover and a recycling composed of defective duvets that have already had a first life or have production defects. This filling includes both polyester fiber and leftover fabric from the duvet. This gives a denser appearance and a heavier weight than a virgin polyester fiber. This undercushion has a very good hold over time. All the materials come from France and the reprocessing takes place in the heart of the DODO factories, which is a French brand and manufacturer.
These cushion inserts naturally match our cushion covers from Asia, in keeping with our ecological and responsible values.
