WE MAKE IT SLOW TO MAKE IT LAST
julie
the founder
I am Julie, a French mompreneur in her early 40's. After living in Paris, London and Madrid I am now living with my husband and 3 kids in a Spanish mountain village to disconnect from the big city and get closer to nature and live a slower and more meaningful life.
After working for big companies I was keen to embark on my own entrepreneurial adventure in 2015. It was then when I realized that the fashion industry was the second most polluting in the world, and that I wanted to offer an alternative and launch a fashion brand with a slow and respectful mindset that would create a low impact on our environment. I have always been immersed in the textile world with my family being involved in this industry for a long time. The story goes back to 1820 when my great-great-great grandfather founded a wool mill in Northern France.
I am lucky to work in an inspiring sector and to be surrounded by talented people who share the same convictions and ideals as I do. I find it very exciting to dress people in a way that preserves our beautiful planet and respects the people making it! I hope this adventure will keep growing (within reason, as I am keen to keep it at a human scale) and who knows, be taken over by one of my kids!
OUR COMPANY
We are an independent French brand based in Spain, unattached to any major group or financial funding. The only interests we defend are those of the planet and our artisans.
It is not a lack of ambition, but the desire to preserve our freedom, to remain true to our founding values, to maintain our authenticity and to develop at our own pace without any financial pressure. Our motto: "we make it slow to make it last", is an equivalent of going slowly but surely, and sustainably!
We are committed to doing things right, not only in the manufacturing of our products but also in the day-to-day management of our company. We are a small team of passionate people who are 100% dedicated to providing impeccable customer service and top quality garments. We work hard on a daily basis to design beautiful pieces that are environmentally responsible and that will last you for many years!
OUR NAME
L’Envers means the opposite, the reverse in French. “Faire les choses à l’envers”: doing things in an opposite way, in a different manner, offering an alternative to fast fashion.
This is what we stand for! L’Envers invites you to turn your clothes inside out (we say in French “mettre son pull à l’envers”) and read the clothing label in order to discover the full story: where they are made, what materials were used and who made them.
L’Envers is a human brand and highlights the behind-the-scenes (we say in French “l’envers du décor”) and gives full transparency.
