Greetings 2019

Therefore, everything must be oriented to provide rest and serenity. The colours and lights of the soothing room, the comfort of the bedding, the SOFTness of the materials and fabrics, not an artificial softness that attacks the skin, disrupts rest and can cause serious disorders, but a very real, authentic and healthy softness for the body.

Our formidable profession consists in bringing you the softness of natural materials of very high quality, worked with respect and know-how by avoiding all the toxic products that could attack you. 

And this year again, we will work with passion to bring this softness to your home.

The GENTLE is also the one of the relationships we have WITH YOU. We are here to advise you, in materials, colours, sizes and all my team is mobilized in this direction and likes the contact established with you. Softness is also transparency towards you, the origin of the materials, how we work with them and why, after years of work, we have developed a unique dyeing and finishing process that excludes all toxic, irritating and allergenic products commonly used in the textile industry. In this respect, we are preparing a short guide that will help you to clarify your choices when buying textiles, the different materials, their advantages and disadvantages, the different treatments undergone and which will also allow you to decipher the often opaque information on labels or websites. This guide will be finalized before the end of the first quarter of 2019 and will be available for free download on our website. 

At a time when lies are too often set up as a marketing concept, and poorly combated by insufficient regulations, it seems essential to us to claim the truth as an essential value. Everyone knows the fear of being fooled by ordering from a website, of not receiving the item according to your expectations, of not being able to exchange or return it easily, and of having no one on the phone to make yourself understood and solve your problem. This truth, this trust and this relationship, it is this GENTLE that we assure you.

The GENTLE is also the one of our WORKING relations. The textile industry is a profession of manpower and very high know-how. My team has great skills and we all have a passion for this job because we really produce, we don't just move boxes... We are proud to work with the most noble materials, respecting them and sublimating them so that these items can enter your privacy and bring you all the satisfaction you deserve. Trust, responsibility, solidarity and kindness are, I think, the values that govern the Couleur Chanvre organization and give this GENTLE to our work. You certainly feel it when you contact us or when you come to see us in the workshop or in our shops. 

Finally, it is also the GENTLE who must prevail in the relations between our company and the CITE. We know the privilege of being in the heart of the Basque Country, this region that is so dear to us, where the sweetness of life is erected as an ancestral principle! We know that we have a primary responsibility for the balance and influence of the community, our city, our region and our country. We are happy to contribute to collective charges and social protection, we develop local employment - our team has increased sevenfold in six years and all employees are on permanent contracts - this is our responsibility and our commitment as a corporate citizen. Our pleasure is immense because we export more and more of our products and we know that it is a little of the influence of our region and our country that is found in each package shipped to Europe, Asia, America or Australia. But at the same time, we expect communities and public authorities to understand the challenges and constraints we face as a small business, to create an environment that is safe and conducive to our development and to ensure fair competition, both nationally and internationally.
