Local making

Wax trousers made in France: what that means at Dune&Pins

At Dune&Pins, ‘made in France’ refers to trousers made in small batches with partner seamstresses in Bordeaux. It is not a phrase used to blur everything else: fabric origin and the steps we can actually document must remain separate.

A closely followed batch

Working nearby makes it possible to review a cut, drape or finish before presenting the piece. Quantities stay small, and sizes shown in French and English come from the same catalogue.

Fabric origin and garment making are different facts

Making a piece in Bordeaux does not mean the cotton was woven or printed there. We publish origin and composition when supplier information has been checked, without filling gaps with an invented story.

What counts as proof

Composition, stitching details, measurements, piece photographs and the making contact are the useful elements. This page will grow as workshop documents and photographs are cleared for publication.
