Holding Textile Hermès, a part of the luxury goods company Hermès, and its Bucol textile brand have obtained GOTS Certification to reaffirm their eco responsible commitment towards a more sustainable fashion world. Bucol silk and cotton products are already OEKO-TEX certified.

The silk and cotton fibres used by Bucol are sourced organically. The chemical substances used in Bucol’s products are carefully selected to be less harmful for mankind and nature, a rigorous traceability is followed during production processes and precise social criteria are respected, the company said in a media release.

“Our goal is to live with values of present time, to contribute to an effort of producing textiles with respects towards our grounds and therefore more virtuous for future generations,” explained Florent Wongeczowski, director of operations for Bucol.

“Since its beginnings, Bucol has been committed to offer its clients’ high-end textiles with an exceptional level of quality. Its people are at the centre of its creative process, anchored in modernity and in the universes of fashion and accessories. Bucol appeals to the rarest expertise of the Lyon region such as the warp print technique or knife cut velvet and works with the best craftsmen either from its own house or from its external partners. Because of this, Bucol is naturally moved by ethical and environmental issues,” the release added.

Holding Textile Hermès, which Bucol belongs to, has received GOTS Certification by Ecocert under license number 228603.
