Trench & Coat is the little sister of the family business Lener Cordier, proud to transmit its values and know-how from generation to generation.

Here are our common commitments:

Transparency above all

- We are committed to explaining who we are and how we work, while sharing our successes and areas for improvement.

- Among our recent initiatives, in early 2020, we conducted a BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) Social Audit Plan to get an outside look at the working conditions and compensation levels of our employees. We have thus put in place a continuous improvement plan by scrupulously following the organisation's code of conduct.


Loyalty as a motivating factor

- We have been working with the same European partners for over 50 years, especially our Italian fabric suppliers.

- The average seniority of our 400 employees, spread between France and Ukraine, is 19 years: a serious guarantee of expertise and attachment to the company !

- Your satisfaction is our priority. Our team bends over backwards to answer all your questions as quickly as possible.


 Eco-responsibility as a guiding principle

- Our production remains European and therefore relatively close to home, and we only use trucks for transport.

- We are adept at producing small series. We are committed to sustainable production and do everything possible to optimise and reuse materials.

- As a committed and supportive company, our teams are always ready to get involved: they have just demonstrated this again by spontaneously and massively launching the manufacture of masks and gowns to fight against Covid-19.

- We give great priority to natural materials such as wool and cotton.

- Together with our suppliers, we are moving towards more and more eco-responsible certified materials: GRS (Global Recycled Standard, a certification that guarantees traceability and the presence of recycled fibres), but also Oekotex (absence of harmful substances). 

In short, quality materials for durable and trendy pieces for a long time to come.

Below you will find details about our key materials for the winter :

cotton & recycled fabrics

Cotton is a plant fibre that grows around the seeds of cotton plants. It has many advantages: it is highly absorbent and insulating. Our materials have been treated to accentuate its water-repellent properties, which will protect your model in the event of light rain. Every season at Trench & Coat, we choose a 100% cotton fabric from Italy, a country renowned for its beautiful, high-quality materials. This year, we've also chosen to use recycled materials: this is the case for one of our fabrics, which is made from organic cotton, using less water and producing fewer carbon emissions.

Sport & fun materials

Cotton is often used in our summer fabrics and is soft, light and easy to care for. Soft and pleasant to the touch, it has a high absorption capacity. It is one of our favourite materials in the summer, as it can be found in so many models of trench coats and parkas. The sports fabrics selected by Trench & Coat come from Italy, a country renowned for its beautiful, high-quality materials, and from Korea, a country with recognised expertise in the more technical fabrics. Our maintenance advice: The most stressed areas such as the collar, the bottom of the sleeve or the bottom of your model should be inspected regularly: if they start to blacken, yellow or simply stain, it is time to have your article washed. Generally, it is recommended to have your item cleaned at least once a year, at the end of the season. Please refer to the care labels on your item for details of care options.

Technical fabrics

For this spring-summer season, we've chosen more technical materials for some of our models: supple, lightweight fabrics, some with a waxed finish and others in printed materials. Our maintenance advice: The most stressed areas such as the collar, the bottom of the sleeve or the bottom of your model should be inspected regularly: if they start to blacken, yellow or simply stain, it is time to gently rub your article with a damp sponge. Generally, it is recommended to have your item cleaned at least once a year, at the end of the season. Please refer to the care labels on your item for details of care options.

Fancy

In each of our spring/summer collections, we develop designs in more textured or printed fabrics. This season, you'll find a cotton linen with an ottoman weave, a 100% cotton fabric with a flamed weave, and a cotton jacquard in bold, peppy summer colours. Our care tips: The most stressed areas such as the collar, the bottom of the sleeve or the bottom of your model should be inspected regularly: if they start to blacken, yellow or simply stain, it's time to have your article washed. Generally, it is recommended to have your item cleaned at least once a year, at the end of the season. Please refer to the care labels on your item for details of care options.
