DE BONNE FACTURE

Passionate about fashion since her childhood, Déborah Neuberg founded men's ready-to-wear line De Bonne Facture in 2013. A former student at HEC and the French Institute of Fashion, the creator had sharpened her eye and her mind over the course of her travels abroad. Having found a strong connection with nature, the urbanite had long wished to create clothing that respected the environment, especially in its intimate links to the production of materials like cotton, linen, and wool. De Bonne Facture thus offers lines essentially composed of natural textiles. While the wool comes from French weavers, the cotton is sourced in Japan, England, and even Switzerland. The label's leather, designed to develop a patina over time, comes largely from a Spanish tannery chosen for its expertise in environmental practices. Made from materials like horn and mother-of-pearl, even the buttons correspond to elevated standards of environmental excellence. The same can be said for the garments' smallest details, which of course add the finishing touches on De Bonne Facture's elegant offering, all while highlighting the importance of local production. In a nutshell, Déborah Neuberg made her dream a reality. While the collections are nominally for men, many of the articles can easily be worn by women, as evidenced by the designer herself. It's specifically this form of neutrality found in masculine clothing that pushed her to create pieces for all those who dream of pants, sweaters, shirts, and coats that are as durable as they are timeless.
