Excellent Working Conditions
This product is made in a family driven workshop in Tunisia. Fete Imperiale takes responsibility, not only for their own team in France, but also for partners and subcontractors. They are involved in the process to such a degree that they can ensure that their set of standards are being upheld. Here every worker is paid fair wages, and the factory follows modern standards for safety. They also make sure to use fixed-term contracts when possible.
Low Carbon footprint
Fête Impériale has chosen to work with partners as close to home in France as possible. This product is made in Tunisia, on the other side of the Mediterranean, and though it is on another continent, the travel distance is still closer, and the transportation of goods is done via Sea freight. The logistics partners and transporters Fete Imperiale work with are also committed to reducing their carbon footprint. When it comes to the raw material, this is also sourced as close to home as possible. With this product, the wool has its origin Austria and the fabric is woven in Italy.

NEGATIVE: Use of Virgin Polyester
At JF we work hard to avoid taking products onboard which use virgin polyester, and when our designers choose this as a raw material, we investigate why to make sure we can vouch for their choices. Here, the virgin polyester is used as a means to strengthen parts of the product which is more prone to wear and tear. Quality and longevity is such an important part of the design, so here we can accept this choice.
Focus on quality and commitment to improve practices
Fete Imperiale are committed to continuously improve their production chain, from choices of fabrics to production partners and suppliers. This means that synthetics are sometimes chosen as a means to keep the quality high even longer, as long as a natural or recycled counterpart doesn’t exist in the same the characteristics . As they each season do their research, they will however always look for the best alternative when it comes to ALL levels and details of each product, and as the range of ethical alternatives grow, Fete Imperiale are committed to making the changes they can towards an even better production.
Quality focused and low volume production
The fashion industry is known for its scale and production in large quantities to achieve higher profits. Fete Imperiale actively choose not to take part in this overproduction and also to make attention to quality and details of each design high.
Recycled and upcycled packaging
All hang-tags are made of 100% Recycled Paper and all labels 100% Recycled Polyester. Fete Imperiale also practice active waste management to make sure to leave as little as possible behind in the packaging and shipping process.
