A lot of changes have taken place at Close To Clothes this year! A little preview?<\/strong><\/h2><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our stand at Premi\u00e8re Vision: a unique stand for a striking duo, Close to Clothes-Dorlet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, we kicked off the year with the emblematic Premi\u00e8re Vision textile show, from February 8 to 10. For this year’s event, we’ve decided to meet you on a brand-new stand, created in collaboration with Dorlet, a company specializing in the design and manufacture of metal accessories. We’ve been friends for a long time, and after a number of collaborations, we’ve decided to make our partnership official.<\/p>\n

We started from the simple observation that our offers complemented each other, and that we could often be asked to supply different types of product for the same brand. So, sharing the same ambitions of environmental commitment in the development process of our respective products, it’s only natural that we wanted to share the Premi\u00e8re Vision experience, and accelerate the adventure we began over 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you at the next edition, from July 5 to 7, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>

For Close to Clothes, certification is more than just a token of our commitment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our OEKO TEX 100 certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This year Close to Clothes has taken another step on the road to eco-responsibility, obtaining OEKO TEX 100 certification, class 1 in its own right.<\/p>\n

What does this certification mean? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Products bearing the OEKO TEX Standard 100 label are free from harmful substances, and do not use any during the entire production chain. Class 1 certification is the most demanding, since it attests to the absence of risk in the use of our products for children under 3.<\/p>\n

Our factories were already certified, so it’s a real source of pride to bring these values to the CTC brand!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A growing family<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our team has grown a little more to meet our desire for commercial expansion!<\/p>\n

Last November, we introduced you to our new English salesman, Paul <\/strong>, who has enabled us to open up even more to the British market.<\/p>\n
