La Fabrique Hexagonale supports us: Sweatshirts 100% made in France
As the days get shorter, the sleeves get longer... And at Les Tricots Marcel, we understand this perfectly. First, there were tank tops, otherwise known as marcels. This sleeveless top, which gave its name to the company, is ideal when the temperature is warm or mild, when evenings are pleasant. But it quickly becomes inappropriate with autumn. Unless, of course, you wear it under a sweater, a sweatshirt, a jacket, or God knows what else.
Les Tricots Marcel began by adding short sleeves to their signature garment. These are the Lucien bodysuits... The small company from Roanne is now marketing sweatshirts. Intended for both men and women, they are available in black and gray. A particularity of this new product: it is made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Better yet: the fabric from which it is made is knitted from leftover cotton and polyester, which itself is made from plastic bottles. All manufacturing operations are carried out in Roanne. Therefore, these are truly 100% made in France garments.
Two models of both local and ecological sweatshirts are offered. The first, called Le Sweat Marcel, features an embroidery that, in the center of the chest, displays the brand name as well as its logo — a small dumbbell with two eyes shining within it. The second sweatshirt, called Le Sweat Bébert, is simply decorated with the same small dumbbell, but on the heart. These decorations are very discreet, especially on the black variants, with the embroideries being tone on tone. Finally, the name of the person who contributed the most to its making and the date of manufacture are inscribed on the label of each sweatshirt. A way to remind that these are local items produced in small quantities.
In short, Marcel and Bébert are two discreet, sober, ecological, financially affordable, and 100% made in France garments. They are also warm, soft, comfortable and very pleasant to wear.
