Rivedroite - Custine XL waist bag Black Waxed
To withstand the elements and keep your belongings dry, our timeless pieces are dressed this season in recycled and waxed cotton, reinvented in a water-repellent version to allow rain to slide off the fabric without penetrating it. The Custine XL replaces your bulky handbag thanks to its large main compartment and small interior zipped pocket. With an adjustable handle, it allows you to carry everything hands free.

Rivedroite Mission
1. Reuse excess stocks in the textile industry: We use only existing materials to revalue surpluses in the textile industry: recycled or upcycled materials (excess fabric stocks).
2. Short-circuit production: Our strength: proximity. From sourcing, manufacturing, to shipping, everything takes place between France, Spain, Portugal, and North Africa, mainly.
3. Produce in a social and innovative way: Creating our own fair and local production model has been at the heart of our concerns from the beginning. We therefore imagined a different model focused on social and collaborative issues that promotes employment and professional reintegration. We support independent seamstresses in precarious situations, towards financial independence, through entrepreneurship.
About
We started Rive Droite in 2016 from a desire to create change and contribute, in our own way, to making sustainability the new standard in fashion.
Our goal is to unite our environmental imperatives with our ethical commitments to create long-lasting, timeless bags and accessories.
Why Rive Droite?
Aurélie and sisters Yasmine and Sofia are all Rive Droite girls. They draw their inspiration from the creativity of Paris, much like the energy of Brooklyn in New York, Kreuzberg in Berlin, and Shoreditch in London.
As an homage, their products are named after the streets of the right bank of Paris: Célestins, Sauval, Darcy, Barbette, etc.
It all starts with the materials.
Why produce new ones when, not far from our workshop in Casablanca, there's already a supply of sturdy, long-lasting textiles: recycled cotton, post-industrial denim scraps and overstock fabric from the textile industry? That's why we're obsessed with locating these materials, recycling them, upcycling them, diverting them from their initial uses, and transforming them.
Our objective: to repurpose textile industry surplus through ecodesign, a creative process that incorporates environmental protection throughout the product design process to reduce our ecological footprint.
Transparency
We set up shop in Casablanca to be as close as possible to the recycled and upcycled materials that we source in the area. We verify the quality, sort and cut them within our manufacturing facility, to make the most of every piece and minimize waste. Our workshop manager works closely with our designers to coordinate production. We choose the best partners in Casablanca for dyeing, washing and embroidery.
After our designers conduct their quality control checks, we verify the final products one last time before sending them to our facilities in Paris.
This traceability requirement is a central part of all our processes.
