Création Baumann and lavie have jointly launched the Création Baumann x lavie limited edition “Out of Stock” curtains collection. The pre-washed ready-made curtains for end consumers, made from high-quality leftover materials from Création Baumann, are available to purchase throughout Switzerland via the lavie online shop. The lavie brand is owned by Balsiger Textil.

Under the motto “Made from leftovers to make you happy”, Création Baumann x lavie is bringing out-of-stock materials back into the textile cycle, as the company explains in a press release. Both brands placed particular emphasis on transparency and traceability along the entire supply chain, with the cooperation additionally characterized by short delivery routes. The two companies are situated just a few hundred meters apart as the crow flies in Langenthal in the canton of Bern.

The curtains in the collection are manufactured, pre-washed and packaged entirely in Switzerland. The Italian linen used to make the textiles was spun locally, before being woven and dyed as a finished yarn in Langenthal in compliance with the highest quality standards, according to the press release.

“Our design teams worked very closely together across the entire process and have developed a collection that perfectly combines the strengths of each company while still managing to stand on its own as an independent product”, comments Philippe Baumann, CEO of Création Baumann, in the press release.

“For us as a young brand with a clear commitment to sustainability and top quality, it was a real honor to work with such an experienced company as Création Baumann, with our shared values bringing us together”, explains Oliver Balsiger, CEO of Balsiger Textil and founder of the lavie brand. ce/gba
