What Losanje does

Losanje is a French B2B industrial upcycling company founded in 2020 by Simon Peyronnaud and Mathieu Khouri in Nevers. The company specializes in the transformation of unsold, end-of-life, and second-hand textiles into new finished products through proprietary automated and robotized cutting technology — described by the company as the world's first fully automated cutting line dedicated to textile upcycling. Supporting the technology is an integrated eco-design studio staffed by stylists, pattern-makers, and engineers (including alumni of luxury houses such as Viktor&Rolf and Isabel Marant), and a network of 25+ audited partner workshops in France and Europe that handle assembly. To date, Losanje reports 150,000+ products upcycled, 400+ tonnes of textiles valorized, 50+ clients, and 200+ product references delivered, with claimed impact of 92% CO2 reduction and 99% water savings versus traditional textile production.

The company operates two interconnected service lines: (1) Revalorisation Textile, which transforms clients' own textile stocks (unsold inventory, obsolete items, end-of-life products) into new upcycled products, and (2) Produits Upcyclés sur-mesure, which sources end-of-life materials from partner networks to create bespoke upcycled products for clients without existing stocks. Both lines serve three primary customer segments — enterprises (e.g., La Poste, Orange, Crédit Agricole, SNCF Voyageurs, Intersport), fashion brands and luxury houses (e.g., Sézane, Faguo, Ruinart), and public-sector entities (e.g., Métropole Européenne de Lille for Olympic Games 2024). Pricing is quote-based, project-driven, with multi-year contracts and unit economics the company claims are comparable to traditional manufacturing.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven visibility (Première Vision), a multilingual content/website presence, and published case studies. Operations are anchored in an industrial workshop at Varennes-Vauzelles near Nevers and a commercial office in Paris (11th arrondissement). In 2023, Losanje raised approximately €3 million (Ademe, Crédit Agricole, France 2030, UI Investissement) to fund R&D and capacity build-out. In 2024 the automated cutting line went live, and in June 2025 the company received the ANDAM Innovation Prize, one of France's most prestigious fashion industry awards.

Core offering

Losanje provides B2B industrial-scale textile upcycling services, transforming clients' dormant, unsold, defective, or end-of-life textile stocks into new customized products (apparel, accessories, bags) through a turnkey process spanning material analysis, eco-design, prototyping, automated cutting, partner-led assembly, and delivery. It also creates bespoke upcycled products for clients without existing stocks by sourcing end-of-life textiles from partner networks. Both service lines are powered by a proprietary in-house automated cutting line and an integrated design studio.

Product overview

Losanje operates two interconnected service lines: (1) Revalorisation Textile — collecting and transforming clients' dormant or end-of-life textile inventory into new upcycled products; and (2) Produits Upcyclés sur-mesure — sourcing end-of-life materials from partner networks and designing custom upcycled products for clients without existing stocks. Both lines serve three client segments — enterprises, fashion brands (including luxury houses), and public-sector entities — via a three-step process (co-design, prototyping/collection, production and delivery). The offerings are powered by an integrated eco-design studio and proprietary industrial upcycling technology, with assembly handled through a network of 25+ audited partner workshops in France and Europe. The company also maintains a public-facing portfolio of realized products and client case studies.

Broad incumbents

• Eileen Fisher Renew: Take-back and remanufacturing program from established US womenswear brand Eileen Fisher that resells and upcycles used garments. Comparable as a B2B-relevant reference point for brand-owned upcycling operations competing with Losanje's enterprise service.
• Patagonia Worn Wear: Repair, resale, and recycling program from outdoor brand Patagonia that processes used apparel into new products. Comparable as a brand-owned circular textile initiative that competes for the same upcycling narrative with corporate clients.
• Ecoalf: Spanish sustainable fashion brand producing apparel and accessories from recycled materials including textiles. Comparable in B2B upcycling and recycled-textile product offering, though operating more as a brand than an industrial upcycling service provider.
• Mud Jeans: Dutch circular denim brand operating a lease-and-recycle model where used jeans are recovered and remanufactured into new denim. Comparable in demonstrating industrial circular textile economics relevant to Losanje's own scaling.
• Closed (Closed Jeans): German sustainable fashion brand with a documented circular denim and take-back initiative. Comparable as a European fashion player investing in circular textile supply relevant to Losanje's brand-side pipeline.

Direct peers

• For Days: Closed-loop apparel brand operating a take-back, recycle, and remanufacture program for clothing. Comparable in operating a circular textile-to-textile system and engaging both consumers and brand partners around upcycling and reuse.
• Teemill: UK-based circular fashion platform producing apparel from recycled fibers with a take-back remanufacturing loop. Comparable to Losanje in industrializing circular textile production and offering B2B customizable apparel.
• The Renewal Workshop: US-based circular apparel company that collects used clothing and upcycles or resells it through an industrial-grade process. Directly comparable to Losanje in taking end-of-life textiles and transforming them into new products for B2B and B2C channels.
• Tonlé: Zero-waste fashion brand that upcycles textile remnants into finished apparel using pattern-making techniques similar to Losanje's eco-design studio approach. Comparable for its end-to-end upcycling production model.
• Nona Source: Paris-based deadstock fabric and accessory platform originally developed by Vestiaire Collective that resells unused luxury textile stocks. Comparable to Losanje's textile-recovery value proposition for fashion and luxury brands operating in the same French/European market.
