DBC shirt manufacturing process

C2S, Du Bon Côté's privileged partner, provides complete support from design to production of the shirts, working closely with the brand. This co-creation approach ensures that every stage is carefully planned and supervised from A to Z.

Fabric design and research

Even before sourcing fabrics, the Du Bon Côté team, in close collaboration with C2S, develops shirt designs, taking into account current trends and quality requirements. This crucial stage defines the characteristics and specifications of the shirts to be produced. The workshop then provides manufacturing solutions to bring the DBC shirt designs to life.

Rigorous selection of French raw materials

C2S places great importance on the origin of its raw materials. The fabrics, produced in France and sourced from Verne & Clet, are carefully chosen for their quality and durability. This approach guarantees high-quality products while supporting the local economy.

Preserving traditional know-how

At the heart of the C2S workshop, traditional craftsmanship is carefully preserved. Our expert seamstresses ensure that the fabrics are precisely cut and the garments meticulously crafted. Thanks to the use of traditional techniques and cutting-edge machinery, each shirt is of exceptional quality.

Quality control and commitment to Guaranteed French Origin

Before being dispatched, all shirts undergo strict quality control to ensure they meet the highest standards.
