Our materials and commitments

Trench & Coat is the little sister of the Lener Cordier family business, proud to pass on its values ​​and know-how from generation to generation. Here are our common commitments:

Transparency above all

- We are keen to explain who we are and how we work, while sharing our successes and areas for progress.

- Among our recent initiatives, we carried out a BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) social audit plan at the beginning of 2020 to obtain an outside perspective on the working conditions and remuneration levels of our employees. We have therefore implemented a continuous improvement plan by scrupulously following the organization's code of conduct.

Loyalty as a leitmotif - For more than 50 years, we have worked with the same European partners and in particular our Italian fabric suppliers. - The average seniority of our 400 employees, dispatched between France and Ukraine, is 19 years: a serious guarantee of expertise and attachment to the company! - Your satisfaction is our priority. Our team will bend over backwards to answer all your questions as quickly as possible. Eco-responsibility as a common thread - Our production has remained European, therefore relatively close, and transport is only done by truck. - We are fans of small series. For us, sustainable production is essential and we do everything to optimize and reuse materials. - A committed and supportive company, our teams are always ready to mobilize: they have just demonstrated this again by launching spontaneously and massively into the manufacture of masks and gowns to fight against Covid-19. - We largely favor natural materials such as wool and cotton. - We are moving forward together with our suppliers towards more and more eco-responsible certified materials: GRS (Global Recycled Standard, a certification which guarantees traceability and the presence of recycled fibers), but also Oekotex (absence of harmful substances). In short, quality materials, for durable and fashionable pieces, for a long time. Below you will find details about our key winter materials:

1 - COTTON & RECYCLED

Cotton is a plant fiber which surrounds the seeds of cotton plants and which has many advantages: it has great absorbent and insulating power. Our materials have been treated to accentuate its water-repellent side, which protects your model during light rain.

Each season at Trench & Coat, we favor a 100% cotton material, coming from Italy, a country known for these beautiful quality materials.

This year, we have also chosen to use recycled materials: this is the case for one of our materials which is organic cotton with less use of water but also less carbon emissions.

Our maintenance advice: The most heavily used 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, turn yellow or simply become stained, it is time to do wash your item. Generally, we recommend having your item cleaned at least once a year, at the end of the season. Please refer to the labels on your item detailing care options.

2 - SPORT & FUN MATERIALS

Very often used in our summer materials, cotton is supple, light and easy to maintain. Soft and pleasant to the touch, it has a high absorption capacity. It is also one of our favorite materials in summer as it is available on multiple models of trenches and parkas. The so-called sports materials selected by Trench & Coat come from Italy, a country recognized for these beautiful quality materials, and from Korea, a country whose know-how is recognized for more technical materials.
