De Bonne Facture - Contemporary French Workwear

De Bonne Facture is a name that has become synonymous with timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and sustainable fashion. This French brand, founded by Déborah Neuberg in 2013, is a masterclass in balancing modern aesthetics with artisanal expertise. As the world gravitates more toward slow fashion and eco-conscious practices, De Bonne Facture stands at the forefront, offering thoughtfully crafted garments that tell the story of France's rich textile heritage.

The phrase “de bonne facture” translates to "of good workmanship," a term once used to describe well-made objects. Déborah Neuberg, inspired by her family’s sartorial history and her desire to celebrate local craftsmanship, built a brand that focuses on these very principles. 

De Bonne Facture collaborates with ateliers and artisans across France, each specializing in specific textile traditions, to produce limited-edition collections. Neuberg’s vision was clear from the beginning: create garments that age beautifully, are produced sustainably, and carry a sense of place. The brand achieves this through meticulous attention to detail and a strong commitment to using natural, environmentally friendly materials such as linen, natural wool and organic cotton.

The collection is a reflection of France’s rich textile and tailoring traditions. Rather than mass production, each piece is created in small batches, often by family-run workshops. De Bonne Facture also puts a lot of effort into creating a complete wardrobe, everything from trousers and outerwear to shirts and accessories, which easily can be combined and layered.
