Our materials
Armor-lux specialises in knitwear, which is the preferred technique for producing jumpers, t-shirts, polo shirts, underwear and, of course, the marinière, which has become the brand's iconic garment over the years.
We mainly use natural materials (cotton, wool, linen) and fine materials (such as silk, wool and silk) that are especially suitable for lingerie items. We also opt for a finer range of products made from environmentally responsible materials, such as cupro or Lyocell.
The cotton is grown and harvested in Turkey, India, and the US. The wool comes from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. We do not purchase these raw materials directly. We get our supplies from French and European spinners who process the wool and cotton into yarn. For knitting our products in Quimper, we prefer long fibers, which ensure robustness, durability, and resistance, and we buy ecru yarn (which will then be dyed in our factory) or yarn that has already been dyed.
Yes, we prefer to use organic cotton for certain products. All of our 100%-cotton underwear comes from organic agriculture and complies with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). We also offer some fair-trade cotton products that have a Fairtrade / Max Havelaar label. Lastly, all of our clothing, including underwear, is certified with OEKO-TEX®'s STANDARD 100 label, which means it's perfectly safe for your skin.
