Aujourd’hui, nous franchissons une étape décisive dans notre démarche en nous engageant à n’utiliser que des matières naturelles, recyclées ou issues de l'upcycling dans nos collections d’ici un an.
For as long as we can remember, we have been designing garments made to stand the test of time, far from fleeting trends and frantic consumption cycles. We believe that excellence is built on durability. Natural materials such as wool, linen, and organic cotton offer superior quality, increased resistance, and unmatched comfort. They embody the spirit of Royal Mer: garments made to last, far from transient trends.
This commitment honors our artisanal heritage. By working exclusively with noble and natural fibers, we reconnect with traditional practices and perpetuate craftsmanship passed down through generations. Each piece then becomes the expression of authentic Brittany, where sustainability and elegance come together.
Finally, because our inspiration comes from the sea, we have a responsibility to protect it. Synthetic fibers, responsible for invisible yet devastating pollution, have no place in our collections. By reducing their use, we actively contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems.
An impact
on the collections
We know that the journey ahead is still long to be as consistent as possible in this commitment. It is a strong commitment that means not reproducing or producing certain items, or evolving them. Produce less, but produce better. The brand is committed to being as transparent as possible about the traceability of products and materials.
Move forward with common sense
Our commitment to more sustainable collections goes beyond raw materials. It’s a holistic approach that touches every detail of our garments – from buttons to zippers – as well as the packaging that accompanies them. Every choice matters, and we move forward with the ambition to offer more responsible products, without ever compromising on the quality and longevity that define our reputation. We are aware that the fashion industry, as a whole, has an environmental impact. We do not claim to achieve perfection, but we firmly believe that it is possible to do better. Our goal is simple: to design garments that last, by selecting more virtuous materials and rethinking our production with the same high standards that have always been ours.
A commitment that’s not new
We already produce, in our historic workshop, the Adrian sweater, which comes with a lifetime guarantee. More than a symbol, it embodies our deep philosophy – creating pieces made to last, both in quality and timelessness.
Present in our collection for nearly 10 years, it is a testament to the unique craftsmanship of the Royal Mer Knitting Artisans.
