French Regional Wool

French Regional Wool

EDITION 19

October 21st, 2022

France is historically rich in craftsmanship and production of wools. Thanks to the plurality of ecosystems, many sheep breeds have been able to evolve on French territory for centuries. Among French sheep breeds, one can find the Bleu du Maine, the Lacaune from the Massif Central region, the Merinos from Arles, the Bargeoise from the Hautes Pyrénées, and the Noire du Velay from Auvergne.

Since 2019, De Bonne Facture has been committed to the rebirth of the French wool industry, supporting regional breeders, spinners and weavers. This is part of a project to redevelop the industry on a local scale.

At the heart of this approach, De Bonne Facture is a founding member of the Tricolor collective, working to revitalize the industry, pass on know-how and strengthen the network between all its contributors.

Thanks to this collective work, the processes of this local industry are preserved, and combined with the meticulous manufacturing done by our regional workshops. 
For example, our ebony double-breasted grandad coat is made of Noire du Velay wool, from sheep raised in Auvergne. This fabric is woven with passion and mastery by Eric Carlier of the "Passe Trame" workshop in Mazamet, in the South West of France. The coat is then manufactured in the family-owned workshop Lener Cordier, located in Hazebrouck, in the North of France.
Also, our round neck pullover and knitted vest in Merino wool from Arles are knitted from a wool of sheep from the South Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Originally from North Africa and taking its name from the Merinides dynasty, it was Louis XVI who brought merinos from Spain to crossbreed them with French merino sheep so that French factories could produce softer fabrics.
As a result of this crossing, the breeders obtained a wool with a fineness of less than 20 thousandths of a millimeter in diameter, an exceptional fineness for a wool.

Wool Seersucker Wool Seersucker 24 MAY 2023
Originating from India, seersucker is recognizable by its waffle texture which removes the fabric from the skin, allowing air to circulate more easily. This wavy look is achieved by weaving a taut weft yarn and a looser warp yarn. The term seersucker comes from the Persian words “shîr” and “shakar”, meaning respectively milk and sugar. The milk symbolizes the smooth parts of the fabric while the sugar symbolizes the rough parts. Discovered by the English during the colonial period, this fabric was then exported to the United States where it was notably adopted by Ivy League students.
