Commitment n ° 1: fabrics.
Quality fabrics and Traceability.
Too much pesticides, too much water, too opaque, too fragile, it's too much.
Since 2012, at Dao, We are responsible for making a local fashion icon in a local way: jeans.
A flagship piece that hides the underside of an unlushly brilliant fashion.
Okay, but what are we starting with?
Quality fabrics and Traceability.
At Dao, We are mostly using natural materials such as biological cotton and French linen.
Check, ensure and re-terify.
Our workshop, your favorite garden.
Together, let's be the actors of a change.Support a local and real economy.
Thanks to you, this reality is reflected in13 direct jobswithin Dao in Nancy andnearly a hundred indirect jobs with our partners in France.

For the majority of you, Buying a product made in France is saving know-how and you are right.
Make your jeans, it takes time and we spend as much to check them. A mission: to make differently to make very well.
Nothing to hide : from the origin of our materials, from our workshop, including our partner workshops: Everything is there, before your eyes.
The consumption of one kilo of textiles produced in France generates half less of CO2 equivalent that an imported kilo of textiles.*
1kg imported = 54kgs of CO2 equivalent
1kg produced in France = 27.7kgs of CO2 equivalent
Jeans with its falls weighs approximately 800 grams.

We are at the other end of the garden.
The "destructive creation", we know and we all know where it led us. At DAO, we don't like to destroy, we prefer to repair.
We have designed our jeans and We are equipped to make them last.
A repair, it is to keep a garment with whom you may have already traveled, It would be stupid to throw it away.
To understand the fashion world, We had to deconstruct it to rebuild it according to a model which, according to us, will be more sustainable.
If we no longer produce anything, We give others the possibility of deciding for us.
We want to decide our future, that of a fashion made differently.
To be completely transparent, the commitments we have made and that you have discovered on this page are only the visible part of our garden. After only 10 years in this industry, What we can say is that a long way remains to be traveled and that the best, we hope, remains to come.
