Our Values
Kurssel entstand aus einer Leere in der Modebranche. Wenn man weniger als 1.63 m groß ist, ist jedes Teil ein Kompromiss: zu lange Ärmel, hängende Schultern, unproportionale Schnitte.
We design every piece from scratch for the body shape of women under 1m63
What does that mean?
- Blows for more delicate builds.
- Accurate lengths for busts, legs, and arms for women up to 1.62m tall.
- A mastery of the "Petite" cut in classic and oversized pieces.
- French know-how: The entire process of creating the pieces and production takes place in France to guarantee the highest standards.

Why 100% Made in France?
- Because it guarantees a high and constant level of quality, thanks to traditional and rigorous methods.
- Because it drastically reduces the carbon footprint of our production.
- Because it allows us to work with respected, well-paid artisans, protected by strict social laws such as maternity leave.
French law requires that at least 75% of a garment be made in France in order to obtain the "Made in France" label. Unfortunately, these percentages are not strictly controlled. At KURSSEL, our clothing is 100% made in France; no part of the production is subcontracted abroad. We know who makes each piece, and we are proud of it.
Less stock, more meaning
We produce little.
Voluntarily.
Each KURSSEL model is offered in limited edition, and often also in special order (pre-order), using fabrics from dormant stocks of other manufacturers. These fabrics are of perfect quality but would not have been used by these brands; they become our treasure.
This allows us to:
- Not to generate unnecessary stock
- To produce only what is desired
- To ensure the impeccable quality of each model
- To reduce the dormant stock of fabrics from other manufacturers
We reject the dictates of fast fashion.
At KURSSEL, rarity is a value, not a strategy.
What commitment means to us; our concrete actions
At KURSSEL, our commitment is tangible, not ornamental.
It translates into actions:
- Work with workshops and factories in France to ensure good working conditions and fair wages.
- Reduce our ecological impact by having a very short circuit
- Refusing sales, no manipulation to encourage purchases, and respect for the work of artisans.
- Use fabrics from other brands' stocks.
- Use 100% natural fabrics for the good health of our hormones.
- Slow down the pace to preserve high quality.
- Our packaging is FSC certified. Send us a contact form if you would like to see the certificate.
- Our buttons also come from dormant stocks, otherwise they are made in France.
- We share with complete transparency the origin of our materials as well as that of their manufacture, even when we work from dormant stocks already present in France.
