De Bonne Facture was founded in Paris in January 2013 by Déborah Neuberg, who brought an appreciation for French textile craftsmanship from her time in product management at Hermès. The label, whose name translates to "something that is well made," builds its collection of relaxed, natural menswear staples around five pillars: garment durability, atelier traceability, fabric provenance, ecological materials, and support for regional maker know-how. Nearly everything is made in France, in natural, texture-forward fabrics, with each garment labeled with the atelier that produced it.
