MATERIALS
Natural fibers, leather and textiles selected for their quality, durability and character.
WHAT WE WORK WITH
Natural, Noble and Responsibly Sourced
Every DOUM OFFICIAL product starts with the material. Our name comes from the doum palm, the fiber at the origin of our craft.
Around it we work a family of natural materials: raffia, straw, leather, cotton and linen. Each is chosen for its quality and durability, and with attention to responsible sourcing.
Colours, weaves, textures and finishes can all be developed to your specifications, so that the material serves the identity of your collection or your interior.
OUR TIMELESS
Natural Fibers
Doum palm, raffia and straw are at the heart of our work. The fibers are sorted, prepared and, when required, dyed before being woven, braided or crocheted by hand.
Each technique gives a different result: tight and structured weaves for baskets and bags, supple crochet for soft shapes, open braids for decorative pieces. The fiber gives each object its texture, its lightness and its strength.
LEATHER
Handles, Trims and Leather Goods
Leather is worked in our atelier by a team of 50 leather craftsmen. It is used for handles, straps, trims and linings on woven pieces, and for full leather goods.
Type of leather, thickness, colour and finish are chosen to suit each collection, and edges and stitching are finished by hand.
GARMENTS
Crochet and Woven Pieces
Our artisans also produce hand-crocheted and woven garments and accessories in natural fibers: tops, dresses, hats and other pieces developed to order for fashion clients.
Stitches, density and fit are worked out with you during sampling so that each piece is both wearable and faithful to your design.
FABRICS
Linings and Textile Details
Cotton, linen and other textiles are used for linings, pouches, dust bags and details. They can be combined with fiber and leather according to your design.
Fabrics can be matched to your colour references and finished with your labels and branding.
