- Our products are proudly made in Quebec, the French province of Canada, with natural and quality materials that are healthy for the environment.
- We chose recycled fur instead of new fur because it's eco-friendly by recovering fur coats and this allows fitting into a sustainable consumption and circular economy. And above all, it protects fur-bearers from exploitation.
- In addition, recycled fur is good for the environment as opposed to faux-fur, because faux is made from petroleum, therefore non-biodegradable. We cleaned good fur coats at a specialist fur cleaner and use these to make fur items. Leather and sheepskin are genuine, excellent quality and new.
- Côté Cuir was founded in 1998 by Lucie Côté. Having worked with leather for several years for artisans, she decided to make her own products with the leather aviator hat.
- She added hats made from recycled fur to stand out from competitors who use brand new fur. In addition, the Simon and Antoine hats are relatively unique because they are lined with fur, which provides warmth and comfort!
- Côté Cuir (pronounced kote kyir) means «leather side» in French and it's also a play on words because Côté can be a word and a last name, and that's Lucie's last name.
Thank you for your support for natural materials, healthy for the environment and handmade in Canada, North America.
