Rivedroite - Custine XL waist bag Santa Monica Beige
Our iconic Custine XL bag is reinvented for summer in a 50% recycled and 50% organic cotton twill, in a new shade of Santa Monica Beige.
You'll love Custine XL for its rounded shape and spacious zippered interior pocket, making it ultra-practical. Its main compartment fits all your essentials, such as your wallet, charger, phone, sunglasses, lipstick, and even a small book.
The interior lining, in the same color, is made from surplus stock from the textile industry. It closes with a silver YKK® zipper.

Rivedroite Mission
1 - Revitalizing textile industry surplus : We exclusively repurpose existing materials, giving new life to surplus textiles through recycled or upcycled fabrics.
2 - A short supply chain : Our strength lies in proximity. From sourcing to manufacturing and shipping, our production remains within France, Spain, Portugal, and North Africa.
3 - A social and innovative approach to production : From the start, our priority has been to create an equitable and local production model. We have developed a collaborative system focused on social impact, employment, and professional reintegration. By supporting independent artisans—our Dudes—facing financial hardship, we empower them toward financial autonomy 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.
