Our seamstresses are in Bordeaux

Our boubous are sewn in small batches by partner seamstresses in Bordeaux.

Not in large quantities, not on the other side of the world.

Each piece passes through the hands of someone we know, in a workshop we can visit.

What that changes

When the workshop is nearby, we can follow a series differently. We can talk through a cut, adjust a detail, check the drape, and refine a finish before the piece is presented at the showroom.

It is not only a question of address. It is a way of working: more direct, more human, more attentive.

Small batches, real presence

A small batch asks us to look at every piece. The fabric, the stitching, the length, the comfort. Nothing is abstract, nothing goes too far too fast.

That is also what gives Dune&Pins boubous their place: sunny trousers, made close to us, with a story we can tell without inventing it.

What we check on a piece

Before presenting a style, we look at the points that genuinely change how it wears: stitching consistency, waist hold, length, side-band or piping alignment and the overall balance of the drape. Measurements and available sizes are then stored in one catalogue shared by the French and English websites.

This check does not replace real wear. Its purpose is to catch a visible issue or measurement difference before a fitting.

Why portraits are not published yet

Showing a face or naming a partner requires their permission. We would rather publish a properly documented portrait later, with accurate information and the person's agreement, than manufacture decorative proof.

The Making and materials page therefore gathers only what we can currently state and will grow as permissions are obtained.

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit the workshop?

The address on the website is the pre-launch shop, not a promise of open workshop visits. Fittings are walk-in and require no appointment during opening hours; workshop meetings are arranged separately.

Are all pieces identical?

The cut and reference measurements stay consistent. Exact print placement can vary slightly as the fabric is cut, which is part of small-batch making.
