Made in France and Made in Paris
infuse 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE's entire creative process,
from design to manufacturing, including raw materials
3.8 ALLEE FAUVE is committed to a local approach,
Made in Paris, and Made in France,
which goes beyond the sole French manufacturing
covering the all scope of 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s creations : design, materials, making.
This desire for a global Made in France results from four reasons and objectives :
∗ honor the excellence of French craftsmanship
∗ preserve traditional and historical French know-how,
∗ reduce the carbon footprint generated by transport,
∗ have greater traceability possible
Design
The design is made in Paris, by 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s founder.
It is a “spiritual design” inspired by the Animal world and which uses sacred geometry, feng shui, lithotherapy, to give handbags and accessories particular energies.
Materials
The vast majority of the raw materials are made in France : the exotic marine leather, the jewelry, its gilding, some of the reinforcements and linings, the cords.
When no material meeting 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s environmental commitment has been found in France, these materials are sought in neighboring countries : Italy, Germany.
Only Peace Silk and semi-precious stones come from India. Indeed, the collective of Indian women making silk is the only one to our knowledge to make this non-violent silk. In addition, India is the hub of the gemstone market, where European suppliers go to source.
Fashioning
3.8 ALLEE FAUVE leather goods are entirely handmade in Paris and Touraine by Art Crafts.Wo.men.
