Our Commitments
In a few words…
QUALITY
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. We strive to offer high-quality products, both technically and ethically. Our development process is lengthy; we take the time to thoroughly test each product to ensure it perfectly meets our standards.
RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Offering an ethical and responsible brand is also a key value for Lise Tailor. We work every day to offer you increasingly respectful, ethical, and transparent products.
All the fabrics we offer are Oeko-tex, FSC certified and comply with REACH regulations. Our signature viscose is also ECOVERO™ certified, a fiber sourced from sustainably managed forests and produced using environmentally friendly processes.
PROXIMITY
Most of our suppliers are located in France (fabrics, buttons, patterns). However, we sometimes use suppliers outside of France, and even occasionally outside of Europe, to find the expertise we need at an acceptable price. We strive to prioritize local partners whenever possible and only turn to foreign suppliers as a last resort. Our wools are spun and dyed as close as possible to the herds, in South Africa and Italy for the Aube base, to guarantee impeccable quality and exemplary traceability.
CSR for Lise Tailor
Corporate social responsibility refers to the consideration of environmental, social, economic and ethical issues by companies.
Even as a small business, this cause is particularly close to Lise Tailor's heart. We see it in its entirety and, on our scale, we want to move these issues forward in the right direction. We are committed to a "Slow Fashion" approach, aiming to consume less, but better! We are dedicated to remaining transparent with our customers and strive to improve every day to offer you products that are increasingly committed to this sustainable development approach.
Furthermore, we want to give everyone a chance, so we are currently working with an ESAT for part of our logistics, which allows people with disabilities to carry out a professional activity while benefiting from medical, social and educational support.
Why produce locally?
Producing locally helps boost our country's economy while distancing ourselves from globalization. It's a way to protect our planet: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and thinking about our children's future.
From a logistical point of view, this allows us to reduce production times and be very responsive.

Why talk about "exclusive" products?
All the products we offer that bear our brand name have been created and developed specifically for our company. They belong to us, and we are the only ones authorized to market them. The exclusivity of our products varies depending on the category:
- FABRICS:
The designs printed on our fabrics are our own and were created specifically for us. You will never find our designs on any other material than our fabrics.
-
BOSSES:
Our sewing patterns are designed in-house by our creative studio. The designs are registered and belong to us.
- WOOLS:
The colours of our wools have been developed exclusively for us by our spinning mills.
- BUTTONS:
All the colours of our buttons were developed exclusively for our company to create our beautiful rainbow.
Our logistics
Because for Lise Tailor, sustainable development isn't just about choosing the right raw materials; it's also a fundamental aspect of our consumption habits. We are committed to respecting labor standards and how we treat people, animals, and the management of our planet's resources. That's why we produce only the right quantities to achieve our zero-waste goal. It's also why we operate on a pre-order basis with our retailers to optimize our inventory. This just-in-time approach allows us to streamline both storage and production management while minimizing waste.
In addition, part of our logistics is handled by an ESAT (establishment and service for assistance through work) which takes care of managing fabric folding and shipments to retailers.
Our Values
Working with quality raw materials
Our signature viscose is ECOVERO™ certified, a fiber sourced from sustainably managed forests and produced using environmentally friendly processes. It offers exceptional softness, beautiful drape, and a reduced environmental impact.
Little by little and on its own scale, Lise Tailor is trying to contribute by finding ever more sustainable solutions for the production of its fabrics.
Join the Slow Fashion movement
Our fabrics are printed in small batches, mainly in France, for ethical and ecological reasons. When a collection is sold out, there is no restocking; this allows us to incorporate new designs "and have fun," while also giving the products a sense of rarity and uniqueness.
Lise Tailor then took the side of “Slow Fashion” and adopted a just-in-time production in order to limit waste and overproduction.
A socially conscious production
Lise Tailor works with an ESAT: an establishment and service providing assistance through work reserved for people with disabilities, enabling their social and professional integration or reintegration.
It is thanks to the members of this association that the resale activity was possible. They handle all the logistics related to the fabrics and reseller orders.
