What are our environmental actions?

At JULES & JENN, we advocate for ethical fashion by revealing the origin of our materials, our workshops, and the exact breakdown of our prices. 🔎 ✅

Transparency is not just a simple word to us; it is the very foundation of our model. We firmly believe you have the right to know exactly what you are buying and who makes it.This commitment translates into three concrete actions:<ul><li data-path-to-node="24,0,0">A fair price all year round: By selling exclusively online and without intermediaries, we lower our margins. On every product page, we detail the exact breakdown of our selling price (cost of materials, labor, transport, taxes, and our margin).</li><li data-path-to-node="24,1,0">Open manufacturing locations: We openly introduce you to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://julesjenn.com/en/pages/workshops">all of our partner workshops</a> located in France and Europe.</li><li data-path-to-node="24,2,0">Material traceability: We share the origin of our leathers and plant-based materials, favoring trusted labels and certifications (LWG, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, OFG).</li></ul>To understand our business model in detail and discover our daily actions:&#x1F449; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://julesjenn.com/en/pages/transparency">Consult our Transparency page</a>

What does our transparency consist of?

The AGEC law fights against waste and promotes a circular economy. Discover how our responsible fashion approach fully aligns with it. ♻️ ✅

Voted in France in February 2020, the Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy (AGEC) law aims to profoundly transform our production and consumption systems.Its main objectives are to:<ul><li data-path-to-node="25,0,0">Eradicate the use of single-use plastics by 2040.</li><li data-path-to-node="25,1,0">Better inform consumers (traceability, recycling instructions).</li><li data-path-to-node="25,2,0">Actively fight against waste and encourage reuse.</li><li data-path-to-node="25,3,0">Promote product repairability and eco-design.</li></ul>At JULES &amp; JENN, these principles are not a constraint, but the very foundation of our DNA since our creation. The total traceability of our materials, our encouragement of repair (via the Refashion network), and our sensible production perfectly align with this circular approach.To learn more about the traceability of our models and all of our actions:&#x1F449; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://julesjenn.com/en/pages/la-marque">Discover our commitments</a>

The REP (Extended Producer Responsibility) finances the recycling of our items. Discover how we actively support this sustainable initiative. ♻️ ✅

<div dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Introduced in France in 1975, Extended Producer Responsibility (REP) is a &quot;polluter-pays&quot; principle: those who manufacture, distribute, or import a product must take responsibility for its end-of-life.How does it work in practice?<ul><li data-path-to-node="24,0,0">The eco-contribution: Each year, companies like JULES &amp; JENN pay a financial contribution to a state-approved eco-organization.</li><li data-path-to-node="24,1,0">Financing the industry: These funds are used to finance the prevention, collection, sorting, and recycling of waste on a national scale.</li></ul>As an adherent, JULES &amp; JENN actively participates in financing this circular economy to reduce the environmental impact of fashion.&#x1F449;&#xA0;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://julesjenn.com/en/blogs/le-journal/sustainable-textile-repair-reuse-recycle">Learn more</a></div>

What is the REP?

The OFG label (Origine France Garantie) certifies that a product is genuinely made in France. Discover our commitment to local craftsmanship. ✅

<div dir="ltr" id="isPasted">The Origine France Garantie (OFG) label is the only certification that clearly and objectively attests to the French origin of a product. It is much stricter than the simple &quot;Made in France&quot; claim.To obtain it, a product must meet two strict criteria, validated by an independent audit:<ul><li data-path-to-node="25,0,0">Manufacturing: The product must take on its essential characteristics (its design, assembly, and finishes) on French territory.</li><li data-path-to-node="25,1,0">Added value: At least 50% of the unit cost of the product must be acquired in France.</li></ul>At JULES &amp; JENN, we are proud to promote local craftsmanship. That is why a large portion of our shoes and bags are made in certified French workshops, guaranteeing a true geographical origin and the utmost respect for the working conditions of the artisans.To discover all of our labels and our manufacturing approach:&#x1F449; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://julesjenn.com/en/pages/transparency">Consult our Transparency page</a></div>
