Fabrication
- How and where are Aatise garments made?
All Aatise garments are made in France, enabling our brand to minimize its carbon footprint.
- Eco-responsible clothes made in France or normal clothes?
There are many reasons to choose eco-friendly clothing made in France. Firstly, it supports the local economy and promotes French know-how. What's more, eco-responsible brands favor environmentally-friendly materials and fair working conditions for their producers and workers. Finally, by choosing eco-responsible clothing, we contribute to reducing our ecological footprint by limiting textile waste and promoting the durability of garments.

- What are our raw materials?
Aatise has a range that spans linen products, Eco Vero products and clothing made from upcycled fabrics.
As for linen, France is one of the world's leading linen producers, so most of it comes from our own country. So 95% of an Aatise linen garment comes from France, with the remainder sourced in Holland and Belgium.
Ensuite pour l’Ecovero, il est imprimé en Allemagne, le fil fabriqué en Autriche et le tissage effectué en Turquie.
And finally, we use upcycled fabrics, not to be confused with recycled fabrics, which our team receives from platforms such as Revoco, Uptrade or Beglarian.

Aatise's product range includes women's and men's clothing, as well as formal wear for weddings and other special occasions. We also make fashion accessories such as linen bags and fanny packs!
The garments offered by Aatise are made with care and feature modern, elegant designs. Products are available in a variety of colors and sizes to suit every customer's needs.
- What's the right price for eco-responsible fashion?
It's important to buy eco-friendly and ethical clothing rather than fast fashion for reasons of sustainability, environmental impact and social responsibility! However, the prices of ethical fashion may seem high compared to what can be found on the market. But that's where it's important to understand what's at stake and the values we're fighting for.
Buying ethical and eco-friendly clothing isn't just about adding a piece to your wardrobe:
=>It's supporting an environmental cause that's becoming increasingly important. Whether by reducing CO2 emissions or using biodegradable products!
=> It means boosting a local economy in danger from the relentless relocation of labor used by major brands.
=> It also means preserving and nurturing a know-how that has been present in France for centuries.
This also includes new production and manufacturing techniques that are constantly being discovered. These may be more costly, but they make all the difference when it comes to producing quality.
=> While protecting the social rights of our workers!
=> And finally, it means making a more responsible consumer choice by choosing quality clothes that will last you over time.
- How do I choose the right size for my garment?
How do I customize my garment?
Be careful not to confuse the two: when you use the customization path on the Aatise website, it's still ready-to-wear. We have a size guide on our site to help you choose the perfect size for you. And we may of course need to ask you for your measurements depending on the size you've ordered, to make sure it fits properly.
What's the point of customization?
At Aatise, personalization gives you the opportunity to choose the shape and print in which you'd like your garment to be made, from a range of designs and fabrics.
Using our customization pathway also means you'll receive garments that are tailored to your body shape and style.

Unlike many ready-to-wear brands, we only have a very limited stock, or we manufacture parts pre-ordered on our website.
This process enables us to offer you our garments at the fairest price, which makes exchanges difficult.

At Aatise, we offer fair prices all year round, with no sales or discounts for most of the year. Because we believe that the system of constant sales as practiced today not only harms the planet and people. But it also puts us in situations of excessive and unnecessary consumption.
To remedy this, we choose our sale periods carefully and sparingly. For example, it helps us to sell off unsold items and returns. And so reduce stocks and avoid wasting fabrics and products.
For example, every year Aatise offers a Mother's Day promotion of -20% on the brand's products. This year it runs from May 4 to June 2, 2023.
- How do you care for your eco-friendly clothes made in France?
Each Aatise garment requires special care, and it's important to note that the more care you take with your Aatise garments, the longer they'll last. And since this extends the product's lifespan, it makes it even more eco-responsible and allows you to participate in our movement.
For example, you shouldn't wash your linen or EcoVero garments with the rest of your clothes, as they don't require the same care. As you can see, care can vary depending on the material of the garment, but don't worry, information on the material in question and its care is always specified on the article page itself!
For example, here's how maintenance tips will appear on our site :

- How can we understand our brand's challenges?
Aatise is an Eco Fashion Activist company, so we offer ecological and ethical clothing!
Our brand is committed to respecting the environment by using eco-friendly raw materials. For example, linen and EcoVero are materials we use regularly. Not forgetting the upcycled fabrics we source from Recovo.
This enables Aatise to minimize production waste and offer sustainable alternatives to conventional products.
It's also important to note that all Aatise garments are made in France. It's important for us to help support the local economy while reducing carbon emissions.
Finally, Aatise is concerned with ethics, ensuring fair working conditions for the workers involved in the production of their garments. From our French partner farmers to the seamstresses in the Aatise Bordeaux workshop. What's more, your Aatise garments are all made by the experienced hands of our team, whose knowledge comes from a heritage shared over the years.
The values of the Aatise brand reflect a strong commitment to a more sustainable and ethical world!
- What is our challenge for 2030?
This collective project is undoubtedly our greatest challenge! Our dearest wish is to see a return to predominantly French textile production by 2030.
How can we do this? By giving "manual" jobs, sometimes too little known, their rightful place and opening the doors of production workshops.
In addition, eco-design, with the emergence of biodegradable materials and closed-circuit recycling mechanisms, is a model for the future that we hope to fully integrate by 2030.

- What ecological criteria does Aatise use to produce our eco-friendly garments?
☛ Materials :You need to choose eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, Tencel, Lyocell, Modal and so on. These materials are grown or manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or polluting products.
☛ Dyeing : Choosing clothes dyed with natural or ecological dyes means avoiding chemical dyes, which are highly polluting and toxic for the environment. But it also means avoiding the risk of allergies or health problems. The latter can be caused by contact with the skin.
☛ Where it comes from : Our clothes are made locally, whether in France or Europe. This also includes the raw materials and upcycled fabrics used by Aatise. Our brand limits its transport-related carbon footprint as much as possible.
☛ Production methods : Choosing the eco-responsible option means choosing ethically manufactured clothing. That is, in working conditions that respect workers' rights. No exploitation, no forced labor!
☛ Sustainability: Choose clothes that last a long time and avoid waste and over-consumption. These are the advantages of choosing quality, well-designed, hard-wearing clothes
☛ Certifications : give preference to clothing with ecological or ethical certification or labels, such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Fair trade, etc. In the case of Aatise, we are referenced on several of these labels. However, it should also be noted that these same certifications are costly for the brand and therefore sometimes inaccessible.
En choisissant des vêtements écoresponsables selon ces critères, on contribue à lutter contre la pollution, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, l'exploitation des travailleurs et la surconsommation, tout en favorisant une mode plus durable et responsable.
