Ace 98 Green Socks

ACE’98: The past shapes the future.

It all starts on a tennis court, at the end of a match between Laure and her father. Watching him pick up worn-out balls, a mundane gesture becomes the starting point for a reflection: what if the end of the game was just the beginning of something else? The ACE’98 collection was born from this intuition.

Heritage in motion

It's a collection about transmission, the pleasure of the gesture, and those objects we love to see age alongside us. With its 80s-inspired lines and vintage shades, each piece has been designed to last, like a cherished memory passed down.

Closing the loop

Tennis is a sport of exchanges, but its waste remains static: 14 million balls are discarded every year in France, taking centuries to disappear. We chose to change their destiny by integrating them directly into our materials.

ACE’98 is the meeting point between the traditions of yesterday and the solutions of tomorrow. A collection that embodies the spirit of tennis clubs, from the court to your daily life.

Past shapes the future.

For us, organic cotton is first and foremost a matter of common sense. It's about choosing a material that respects both the earth and those who wear it.

The main difference from conventional cotton lies in its environmental impact. Its cultivation uses on average 91% less water because it relies mainly on rainwater and richer soils that retain moisture better. Added to this is a crucial figure of 0% synthetic chemicals. By eliminating toxic pesticides and fertilizers, biodiversity and the health of those who produce it are preserved.

Beyond the ecological aspect, it's on the skin that you truly feel the difference. Since the fibers are not weakened by aggressive treatments, they are softer and more durable. An organic cotton garment is a piece that breathes better and has a much longer lifespan after repeated washes.

Choosing organic can reduce a product's carbon footprint by approximately 46% compared to conventional cotton.

It means opting for a textile with a clean story, from seed to workshop, for comfort that truly lasts.
