Ah Oui… Ces’t g=9.8

Sophie Young is the the founder of g=9.8. In a similar industry to the American company Nau, her company has a great brand within a very sustainable approach to development.Her product lines within g=9.8 have a limited impact on the environment. For starters they use wood fibers recycled as raw materials for the clothing. In production they use limited water consumption. All of the items they sell are certified under the OEKOTEX STANDARD 100. They have developed eco-friendly packaging (their clutch bags are made of recycled materials or purchased from fair trade in Cambodia). And last but not least, their production located in France despite the relatively high cost.

The factory where g=9.8 lingerie and loungewear articles are manufactured is located in a small village near Angers, France, a town of about 1500 people. They chose to base the entire production in France because their belief is that sustainable relies on local development, employment and preserving local knowledge and skills.
