  • 4 July 2024

The advantages of choosing a bag that is woven and/or embroidered in France are numerous. We can elaborate on four important points:

Buying French means opting for more responsible consumption.

Supporting artisanal and local weaving, expertise, and employment.

Enjoying original and distinctive design,

Personalized and unique creations.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING FRENCH:

BUYING FRENCH IS A MARK OF QUALITY

Why? Because French-made products must adhere to very strict standards. We must take into account the quality and origin of raw materials, as well as the manufacturing process and the durability of the finished product, among other factors. Purchasing products made in France supports a unique and highly skilled level of craftsmanship that is recognized worldwide.

The woven and/or embroidered bags offered by French scarf are highly durable and resistant. Our raw materials have been chosen for their strength, such as natural materials like cotton, jute, and recycled fabrics made from cotton or linen. The manufacturing process, including Jacquard weaving and assembly, follows traditional techniques passed down through generations for centuries.

BUY FRENCH: REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Buying French products also means reducing your environmental impact. Yes, a product made in France will travel many fewer miles than one imported from the other side of the world. And fewer miles means less fuel and therefore less pollution.

Buying French is therefore choosing a more environmentally friendly consumption pattern. So even if ecology is not necessarily at the center of your concerns, it must be admitted that it’s not very difficult to give a little help to the planet. All it takes is to choose more often to buy products that are made in your own country. Being concerned with our environmental impact, La Fabrique d’écharpe always opts for short and local supply chains with a truly “made in Lyon” production.

BUY FRENCH TO GUARANTEE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STANDARDS

Buying products made in France is a guarantee of respecting social and economic standards. In many countries like China, Bangladesh, or India, to name a few, working conditions are not great. Indeed, things like low wages, child labor, poor sanitary conditions, and inadequate safety conditions are not regulated at all.

Buying French is therefore choosing more responsible consumption (ensuring that no child works in manufacturing workshops). It is a guarantee that the product has been manufactured under good conditions and in accordance with human rights.

CHOOSING AN EMBROIDERED WOVEN BAG: SUPPORT FRENCH CRAFTSMANSHIP

Buying French also helps to support and increase the value of artisanal businesses and their skills, as well as preserving skilled, well-paid jobs.

Choosing products made in France actively supports the country’s economy, which is especially important during this post-pandemic period. Businesses have suffered during this time and they need consumers to help them restart their activities.

For several generations, French scarf has been fighting to preserve the heritage of textile craftsmanship in France. French scarf specializes in Jacquard weaving, a traditional technique from the Lyon region. We offer a selection of woven bags using this traditional technique and our own looms.

WOVEN AND EMBROIDERED BAGS ARE IN STYLE:

Woven and embroidered bags are becoming increasingly popular. Whether for summer or winter, you can add real flair to your look with a woven bag featuring original patterns and colors. It’s a very trendy fashion accessory that can complement all styles, from ethnic patterns for a bohemian chic look to more geometric designs for a more professional style. To combine utility with pleasure, choose large bags where you can stuff plenty of belongings and head off for a weekend getaway. Woven and embroidered bags made in France are produced in small batches, so you won’t have the same bag as your friend or your mother-in-law!
