Who are we?

“Growing up together has taught us to act together.

With my sister Fatiha, we have always refused to believe that the textile industry should remain stuck in its excesses. We knew that another model was possible. She, from tech. Me, from fashion. Two worlds, one desire: to prove that we can produce differently – sustainably, locally, ethically.

LeLabPlus is our answer.

We help brands transform their unsold inventory into economic opportunities. We limit waste by rethinking production for sustainable and quality clothing. But our commitment goes far beyond that: we put people back at the center. We are actively committed to the inclusion of women, seniors and people from immigrant backgrounds, by creating intergenerational bridges to preserve textile know-how and train a new generation in the sector's professions using new technologies.
Our revolution is underway. Join us, the adventure has only just begun!”

Myriam Chikh Mentfakh – Founder of LeLabPlus.
