Who is behind our beautiful socks?

In this week of Fashion Revolution Week , we would like to reveal to you the faces and the manufacturing process of our magnificent socks at Label Chaussette .

Remember Rana Plaza

On April 24, 2013, the name of Rana Plaza in Dhaka, Bangladesh became infamous. The collapse of the textile manufacturing workshops caused the death of 1,138 people and injured more than 2,500 others. This event sparked global awareness about working conditions in the fashion industry.

The #WhoMadeMyClothes movement

Since this tragedy, numerous initiatives have emerged in France to raise public awareness of the downsides of fashion. The hashtag #WhoMadeMyClothes encourages consumers to demand more transparency from brands.

Our commitment at Label Chaussette

At Label Chaussette , we highlight the talented artists who design our socks, and today, we want to tell you about our production partner: Broussaud Textiles .

Broussaud factory image Broussaud Textiles: French know-how since 1938

The story of Broussaud Textiles begins in 1938 with Adrienne and Henry Broussaud, who founded their sock factory in the village of Cars. Hiring more than 200 people, they laid the foundations for a tradition of quality and passion for socks that continues today. Despite the technological advances that have transformed the company, the know-how and enthusiasm remain unchanged.

During our last visit to the factory, we had the opportunity to film a few scenes, showing the transparency and dedication of the team.

Quality and durability above all

French know-how has a price, but it is worth it. Our socks are made locally, traveling just a few hundred miles before arriving at your home. They are designed to last, wash after wash, and maintain their comfort without getting holes.

Local and ethical production

When we are asked "Where do you make your socks?", we are proud to answer: "Not far from you, my friend!". Our local production is part of a fair and ethical ecosystem. As a fashion brand, we are committed to ensuring that the question #WhoMadeMyClothes will never be embarrassing for us or our customers.

The French Days are held from September 24 to 30, 2024. During this week, French companies and products are in the spotlight! Label Chaussette offers you promotions and discounts of up to -30% on its iconic pairs.

How were the French Days created?

The French Days were born in 2018 from the desire of several major players in French e-commerce to create a period of promotions similar to the famous American Black Friday . Their goal was to offer French consumers a shopping event focused on significant discounts, but in a setting closer to their culture and calendar.

Major French retailers such as Cdiscount , Boulanger , La Redoute , Rue du Commerce , Showroomprivé , and Fnac Darty have joined forces to organize these online and in-store sales days. The idea is to boost French commerce after the summer period, by creating a highlight dedicated to good deals, while promoting French companies and products.

What are French days?

French Days are days dedicated to exceptional promotions , where consumers can benefit from significant discounts on a wide range of products, including household appliances, fashion, high-tech, furniture, and much more. Unlike classic sales that last several weeks, these promotions are concentrated in a shorter period, usually 4 to 6 days, which encourages consumers to act quickly to not miss the best offers .

This moment has become an unmissable event in the world of e-commerce, with attractive discounts sometimes comparable to those of Black Friday. Label Chaussette is notably offering discounts on its iconic pairs, which you can find at €12, €15 or €17 instead of €19!

What are the dates of the French Days?

The French Days take place twice a year, with one edition in the spring and another in the fall . The exact schedule varies slightly from year to year, but typically the spring French Days take place in late April or early May, while the fall French Days take place in late September or early October.

The dates of each edition are announced a few weeks in advance by the organizers. This year, the French days 2024 are therefore from September 24 to September 30 inclusive.

Why the French Days?

The French Days allow French companies with production made in France to showcase their know-how and products to consumers. This meets a clear need in the French market: to offer a local alternative to Black Friday and other imported commercial events, while supporting French companies.
