Ivorian-rooted fashion brand laurenceairline describes itself as a brand that is always moving. Of Cameroonian and French origins, born in Côte d’Ivoire, Laurence Chauvin- Buthaud, creator of the brand, evolves between Paris and Abidjan. The brand stems from this reality. A reality not fixed in one place, but situated between two skies.
The contemporary and sustainable fashion brand recently unveiled its new collection dubbed ‘Mother Nature’s Dream’, a collection that is made in laurenceairline’s atelier in Grand-Bassam, and 80% of the fabrics used are organic cotton harvested in Burkina Faso and then handwoven by @cabes_official , a social enterprise in Burkina Faso.
The collection features wavy patterns in unique combinations of colors and carefully crafted pieces made with 100% handwoven organic cotton and unisex pieces in black, deep blues and clay browns, all inspired by designer Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud’s memories of West Africa in the 1980s.
In a statement following the release, the brand stated:
Like a continuous thread, everything is linked to our commitment to respect the social and natural environment. ‘Mother Nature’s Dream’ Couture Collection is a celebration of hand craftsmanship through elegant unisex silhouettes.
We start our creative process by choosing organic fibers. Every collection at laurenceairline starts with carefully selected fabrics. The energy of our textiles reminds us to slow down and experience life. We operate in trust, truth, and harmony.
‘Mother Nature’s Dream‘ collection is 100% proudly made in Africa, through an ethical process, using sustainable materials. From the creation of these unique fabrics with @cabes_official in Burkina Faso to returning to our workshop in Grand-Bassam where the production takes place and finally traveling with you and accompanying you on your life journey, sharing the most beautiful vibrations. Mother Nature Dream’s Couture Collection depicts our natural environment and is an invitation to meditation, a reconnection with our inner essence!
Mother Nature’s Dream leads us to dig deeper inside its collective consciousness and revive the deep relationship we have with nature. A conscious, detailed, and demanding production process beats fruit in these carefully crafted pieces, made with love and care by our team of tailors in Grand-Bassam.
