THE BRAND
What is the origin of the word Flotte and logo?
Like many of you, when it rains, we use this typically French expression: "He flotte ».
At the house of Flotte, We were keen to highlight this word from the French slang and to make it known internationally!
Why this logo?
◦ The drop of water represents the "o" of Flotte And our raison d'être, the rain.
◦ The small slit at the level of the circle echoes our disruptive side, treated the rain differently through color and positive attitude. It also refers to the power of water, which changes shapes.
◦ Finally, the colors recall those of France, our roots and our source of inspiration! All our pieces are designed in Paris.
Where are your clothes made?
Our garments are researched and designed in Paris and manufactured in Asia in a workshop specializing in recycled outerwear. The manufacture of our garments requires special technical skills and know-how that cannot be found elsewhere. That's why we work with partners in China. It's in this part of the world that we now find the largest production facilities, which meet our specifications.
Our raw materials and production system enable us to guarantee quality without having to transport raw materials. What's more, our collections are produced in limited quantities, thus avoiding textile overproduction.
Our partners in China are BSCI-certified, and the wages of the craftsmen we work with are above average. One of our teams visits the workshops several times a year to monitor production and carry out a social audit of the manufacturing chain.
Our products are sold internationally in over 250 points of sale (in Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc.), and all production is carried out in a single location. The raw materials and the production system enable us to guarantee quality without multiplying product transport.
