COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS (Créations Nelson S.A.S.)
Working Together with Ecological Handwork Sneaker Brand Veja
Comptoir des Cotonniers’ first Fair Trade partnership was with the Veja brand. Veja sneakers are an urban and vintage product inspired by a Brazilian model famous in the 1970’s. They are made in Brazil, with 100% natural materials, by a cooperative of small producers.
In collaboration with Comptoir des Cotonniers, the Veja brand has created an exclusive model for mothers and daughters - feminine and sophisticated, and coordinated with seasonal colors.
Sales of the Fashionable Muuñ Brand Baskets
A second Fair Trade partnership took place with the Muuñ label. Colored baskets made of straw designed by a Japanese fashion designer were produced by the women of a village in Northern Ghana. In this very arid region, basket weaving has become an essential economic activity.
Comptoir des Cotonniers included in its 2007 spring/summer collection, a beautiful exclusive Muuñ basket model called Tobruck.
