Our committed approach: upcycling of household linen
For a few years now, our way of consuming has taken a completely different turn by being more focused on sustainable products over time, coupled with a recycling dynamic, to limit the impact of our consumption. At Alexandre Turpault, we wish more than anything else to commit ourselves to an ethical and sustainable approach, in complete transparency. This is why we are offering you upcycled household linen.
UPCYCLING
Upcycling is a relatively recent practice. By definition, it is the transformation of a product to give it a second life. And our ambition is to offer you upcycled products made with our existing fabric resources.
Thanks to upcycling, we have significantly reduced our waste consumption, and we have been able to offer you limited edition items.
OUR UPCYCLING PROCESS
After the manufacture of a linen, we keep the smallest scrap of fabric, to give it a second life. Our goal is to be able to reuse them in the creation of new products.
With this system, we are able to offer you one or two products each season from existing fabric resources, enhanced by a new creative vision.
Thus, upcycling gives us the opportunity to offer you original products, and especially to make good use of all our high-end fabrics.
LIMITED EDITIONS NOT TO BE MISSED
The design and manufacture of new products from upcycling is done using existing fabric resources. This results in capsule collections with very limited stock!
Indeed, our fabric resources are not extensible, we sell our fabrics until we run out. This results in exclusive design products in small quantities. By offering you upcycled products, you contribute to this new reasoned consumption.
OUR ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE APPROACH
This approach has a high stakes and the impact on the environment is unsurprisingly the primary benefit of upcycling. We avoid waste while reducing our waste production. Upcycling allows us to offer you ethical products while remaining durable and of high quality.
VELIN, OUR FIRST UPCYCLED PRODUCT
"Giving back value and meaning through the creation of a new product based on existing raw materials. "
This is what inspired us to create the VELIN cushion cover, made of plain cotton velvet and natural linen. Made in France from high quality materials, this cushion cover has everything to please.
Simple and timeless, VELIN is available in 3 trendy warm tones that will blend in perfectly with any interior. Its chic simplicity allows it to be combined with prints or plains.
MORE RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING
Always in our ethical and responsible approach, we wanted to bring change in our packaging. Indeed, plastic packaging is nowadays more and more numerous and everyone knows that it is very polluting.
It was therefore essential for us to offer you new packaging. That's why our organic bedding is now packaged in zero plastic. Our bed sheets and comforter covers are therefore packaged in bags made of the same fabric as your bedding.
A commitment and a promise to fight against the pollution of our planet and to be a responsible brand.
