In the heart of the Vendée region, in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, the Court Métrage product development unit has been cultivating invaluable expertise for over twenty years in the development of collections for France's greatest luxury Houses and high-end ready-to-wear brands. Away from the limelight, this independent structure has become a benchmark in design development and standardization, combining high technical standards with artisanal savoir-faire.

The Choletais fashion industry is not resting on the laurels of its glorious past. Today, it is preparing its future by training young people and adults in its professions. Two specialized high schools, one public and one private, Jeanne Delanoue and Fernand Renaudeau, have successfully weathered the decades by adapting their content to the needs of companies.

Near Granville, three hours from Paris, a discreet but modern building houses both a garment making workshop and the headquarters of the Les Ateliers Grandis group. Under the impetus of Marc-Antoine Juvin, its Managing Director, this independent group has been weaving an original model over the years, where excellence in craftsmanship, local roots and social commitment form the pillars of a complete French manufacturing chain.

In Cholet, the Plateforme eMode supports brands, designers, craftsmen, artists, companies, students and even individuals in their most daring textile projects. With its rare technical skills, high-performance equipment, culture of transmission and strong local roots, it pushes back the frontiers of creative and sustainable innovation.

The competitiveness cluster has launched a number of initiatives to qualify and consolidate production waste from companies in the textile industry, as well as identifying their potential for recycling, their needs and constraints.

JC Confection reflects the discreet excellence of the French contract manufacturer at the service of luxury ready-to-wear. For over 45 years, the workshop has built a reputation as a specialist in cut and sew knits, and more recently in warp and weft. When Davy Raby took over the company in 2018, he continued along this demanding path, reinforcing the technical expertise, innovation and CSR commitments of a company that combines traditional savoir-faire with constant adaptation.
