Description
Our oversized cotton shirt is 100% recycled
Why produce new materials when we know that 100,000 tons of clothes are thrown away every year? At LATER… we work with what already exists.
We think of clothing differently. It starts with the cotton we use. It is obtained only from old textiles. Once defibered, La filature du parc in Brassac, in the South of France, turns them into new spools of yarn. A way of breathing new life into a stock of clothes destined for destruction.
This unique process allows the reuse of the original garment colors. No dyes are added!
Recycled cotton woven in France
Our cotton canvas adopts the traditional characteristics. It meets several of our requirements, the first being quality. You can wear your oversized cotton shirt for a long time, it won’t run out of steam anytime soon.
The weaving is done in Castres, at Pierre Calvet. We chose a mixture of recycled cotton (50%) and recycled polyester (50%). The rest is obtained from other fibers, already present in the fabrics before they are recycled.
Produce in small quantities, locally
Logical continuation of the use of old textiles to realize our cotton canvas, we make the choice of a close production, using local know-how. All our parts are produced in very small quantities in order to control our stock. From the thread to the fabric through the buttons, all the steps of making this shirt are made in France and Portugal. This choice allows us to personally know the people who make our shirts. This allows us to build strong relationships with our partners but also to ensure the working conditions ourselves.

A desire to change things
When we launched Later…, we started from an observation: we don’t really know what we are consuming. Where do the materials come from? Where are they processed? In what conditions ? Where does our money go?
With Later… we want to bring full transparency. We want to allow the customer to understand what he is buying but, above all, to understand our approach, our choices and our way of producing.
Later… is a life project. It is the desire to give meaning to clothes, but also to the world of fashion. Getting as close as possible to our values, to what motivates us every day: respecting the environment, respecting people. For this, our pieces are entirely made from 100% recycled fabrics. We also rely on local know-how to offer quality, durable and timeless clothing.
