BEHIND THE SCENES BALZAC PARIS…

At Balzac Paris, we love stories that last. The choice of our partners is essential to guarantee TPR (Always More Responsible) fashion for our customers. Before each collaboration, we meet the manufacturers and their employees, thus informing ourselves directly about their working conditions. Our relationships are based on trust and kindness. The know-how of each of them is an essential element that contributes to both the desirability and durability of each of our pieces.

___ The tricolor collective

Balzac Paris is one of the founding members of the Collectif Tricolor association which aims to develop the wool industry in France.

The collective wishes to increase the quantity of wool recycled locally by diversifying the uses of this noble and biodegradable material, while guaranteeing fair remuneration for breeders. This collective also ensures total transparency of practices throughout the chain by improving them to reduce the environmental footprint of the sector, protect the soil and ensure good animal treatment.

___ Linen, local know-how

Linen is a material that we particularly like and we do everything possible to highlight it in our collections.

Today, 50% of flax is grown in France. We have invested a lot in recent years in sector work to reintroduce linen production in France, from cultivation to transformation into fabrics in order to promote this know-how. We purchased the first linen materials grown, spun and woven in France by releasing a dedicated collection. In addition to being local, flax is a plant that consumes little water and its fiber is very resistant.

Artisanal and ancestral know-how of the Basque Country

Today we work with a family business located in the heart of the Pyrenees and certified as a living heritage company. Each step is carefully carried out: braiding of jute, molding, vulcanization with natural rubber granules... and it is the only one to shape assembled shoes. (tradition, transmission)
