The Luxury Craftsmanship of Uniforme

The desire for change pushed Hugues Fauchard and Rémi Bat to start Uniforme in 2017. The idea was to rethink the garment creation keeping more attention to the process with a more human, handcrafted, and slow-paced approach. Sustainability was the main focus, whilst paying attention to each manufacturing step and creating a synergic dialogue with its factories, using only natural and renewable fibers and limiting the use of plastic. The result is durable and comfortable clothes inspired by uniforms with a sense of elegance and balance between technical codes and noble fabrics.
