Our mission? Help reduce the environmental impact of the textile sector and generate activity in our territories.
Our priorities? Relaunch the textile hemp industry in France and promote French wool against massive imports.
The path taken since our creation?
- Relaunching the cultivation of hemp for textile use in Occitanie
- Construction of a hemp processing plant. The first in the south of France!
- Obtaining the GOTS organic label for our hemp fibers. Only 2 hemp farms hold the label in Europe!
- The purchase of a fleet of rare looms and the creation of the Tissages d’Autan weaving workshop, near Castres.
And now?
- We are strengthening the textile hemp sector in France. Increasing the cultivated areas, developing organic (we are at 75% of the areas today), improving the yield of the processing plant.
- Developing outlets for local Lacaune wool.
- Developing partnerships with fashion and furniture customers for our weaving workshop.
- Growing the community of members!
