NATURAL & ORGANIC FIBERS
AV08 Paris is dedicated to creating beautiful, chic and luxurious scarves that are both high-quality and pleasant to wear. The choice of materials focuses on three unblended natural fibers: the organic cotton (GOTS certified), the linen, or the wool. The absence of fiber blends ensures optimal recyclability of the materials at the end of their life. Furthermore, the natural, non-synthetic fibers decompose naturally, reducing soil and ocean pollution.
- Cotton, which brings softness and comfort, and is a must-have for all our desires. AV08 has selected GOTS-certified organically grown cotton, in keeping with its eco-responsible approach.
- Linen, which we love so much by hand, gives the scarf a puffy look. It satisfies our desire for freshness and lightness, especially in summer. What's more, flax is renowned for being naturally environmentally friendly, as its cultivation requires no fertilizers and it's entirely biodegradable. So it was an obvious choice for AV08 to select this fiber.
- Wool, a natural animal fiber, provides warmth and insulation from the cold. AV08 has chosen very fine wool fibers, which don't sting (thanks to the fineness of the fibers), to make the warmest chèches. Wool is naturally environmentally friendly and remains "affordable" in terms of price. An AV08 wool scarf is soft and flowing.
ARTISANAL PRODUCTION
Our scarves are handcrafted in India, a country with traditional know-how in weaving and printing. Working with Indian workshops enables us to offer high-quality shawls at affordable prices.
The workshops we have selected respect working conditions designed to protect the health and safety of the workers.
OFFSET CO2 EMISSIONS
And to offset the CO2 emissions from India to France, we joined and contributed to the NGO Graine de vie, which runs nurseries and plantations in Madagascar, another textile country with a large Indian community. Graine de vie also works hard to raise awareness of environmental conservation among the local population, training and employing them.
RECYCLABLE OR RECYCLED PACKAGING
At AV08 Paris, we have reimagined our packaging to be durable, reusable, and environmentally friendly.
- Reusable shipping boxes
Our cardboard boxes are designed to be reused daily, whether for storing or transporting your accessories.
- Organic cotton gift pouch
Available upon request, our organic cotton pouch is more than just packaging. It can be used to store and protect your scarves, becoming a practical and elegant accessory.
- 100% recycled plastic shipping pouch
The pouch that protects the box is made from 100% recycled plastic, offering a sturdy and eco-friendly packaging solution.
FAIR CONSUMPTION
AV08 is part of the "fair consumption" trend, which involves consuming less and better. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved: the consumer, who pays the right price for a quality scarf designed to last over time; the supplier, who is paid correctly; and AV08, which has a reasonable margin. That's why AV08 offers a fair price all year round and doesn't hold sales.
An AV08 Paris scarf is the perfect blend of timeless style and thoughtful craftsmanship.
