TRANSPARENCY

Go ahead – look at the labels on our lingerie with a magnifying glass.
Ysé has always maintained very close relationships with its tier 1 partners (fabric manufacturers) and tier 2 partners (suppliers of fabrics and accessories).
But ensuring (and demonstrating) that our lingerie has nothing to hide means going back even further.
That's why we decided to work with Fairly Made on the traceability of most of our products.

Thanks to Fairly Made, we can now be sure that every stage in the value chain respects our commitment to regional production. If this is not the case, we start discussions with suppliers to change the situation.

They help us calculate the environmental impact (carbon, water, energy, toxicity) of our products, from raw material to end-of-life. This is known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). We are tracking it, and we aim to reduce it.

To help you make more informed and responsible purchases.

PRODUCTION

We've chosen to produce all our products regionally.

All our fabrics, accessories and elastics are made in Europe or around the Mediterranean basin. The farthest we go is Turkey.

We have always worked with the best partners, as close to us as possible, in Morocco and Tunisia, for their tailoring expertise, in Portugal, for their exceptional cotton work, and in Bulgaria and Romania, for garments that fit to perfection.

Our only exception is the manufacture of our baskets (less than 1% of our products). We work with a workshop in Madagascar to make the most of their unrivalled craftsmanship, which of course respects our environmental and social requirements.

Together, we are committed to always doing better.

Doing better also means not (over)doing it. We have always opted for cautious production. We only produce what we think we can sell, based on a detailed analysis of sales data. We prefer to re-produce rather than over-produce.

TRANSPORT

To reduce our carbon footprint, we reject air transport of our products to our warehouse. A commitment that will not change.

During transport and storage, our products must be protected and most of this protection is made of plastic. As much as possible, we encourage its reuse and recycling.

When we send you a parcel, we stick to the essentials: your products, tissue paper, a sticker and sometimes a postcard – that's it! Our packaging is designed to be low-impact: certified from sustainably managed forests or recycled, designed in Europe, and adapted to the size of our products.
