Traceability & Transparency
Here I want you to know where the clothes and accessories I offer you come from.
I am alone behind the Épines brand and I try my best to do things right by choosing responsible partners and products made under good conditions.
The t-shirts
My t-shirts are made in Portugal, in workshops that share my values.
Their production focuses on:
Waste reduction and recycling
Efficient use of resources
A local supply chain
And even solar energy to power part of the production.
In short, a real effort to offer quality clothing, made with respect.
Each t-shirt is then embroidered at my home, using my embroidery machine.
Made with care, each piece is unique in some way, no mass production here!
Tote bags
The tote bags are made in France, from 100% cotton woven in France.
Local and sustainable manufacturing, which supports French know-how while guaranteeing high quality.
Head coverings
The headwear is from the Beechfield brand.
They are made in China, but the brand is known for its commitment to more responsible fashion:
. GRS, GOTS and OCS certifications
90% of their cotton is recycled, organic, or fair trade.
A genuine commitment to producing durable, high-quality accessories
I chose them for their professionalism and transparency, two values that are very important to me. I would have preferred to find a more local supplier for the headwear, but for now, I haven't found an equivalent that offers the same quality and ethical guarantees. It's a deliberate choice, while we wait to be able to go even further.
In summary
My goal is to offer products that I love, made with respect for people and the planet. Each piece passes through my hands before arriving at your home, and that's what makes each creation unique. I hope you'll wear it with as much pleasure as I have in sharing it!
Thank you for being here and for trusting my work.
It's thanks to you that this project continues to exist!
