A simple filter that respects your Vinted search

EcoChineur adds the filters you choose to the Vinted search you are viewing. Your search text, price, sort order, condition and the brands and materials you already picked stay as they are.

Curated brands

French, Origine France Garantie, European, French-European and eco-conscious brands. A brand is listed only with a documented reason and a verified Vinted identifier.

Natural materials

Linen, cotton, wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca, mohair or merino, with or without brand filters.

Conservative merge

brand_ids[] and material_ids[] are added without removing anything already selected. Reset unchecks your choices and removes only those two filters.

How a brand earns its place

Every listed brand has a documented reason and a Vinted identifier checked against the live site. Brands are grouped into five categories, two of which are cumulative.

🇫🇷 French brands

Production in France. Selecting this also returns the stricter Origine France Garantie brands below.

🏅 Origine France Garantie

French production certified by an independent auditor. A strict subset of French brands.

🇪🇺 European brands

Production in Europe, outside France.

🇫🇷🇪🇺 French-European brands

Production split between France and other European countries, with nothing made outside Europe.

♻️ Eco-conscious brands

An environmental or social commitment is the main reason to list them, wherever they manufacture. This filter also returns any brand in the categories above that carries an eco commitment.

What Origine France Garantie means

Origine France Garantie is the only official French manufacturing-origin label. It is awarded to a company for a limited period by an independent certifying body that re-audits it every year. A product qualifies on two conditions: it takes on its essential characteristics in France, and at least 50% of its unit cost price is French. Around 700 companies and 2,700 product ranges are certified.

That third-party audit is why the label gets its own filter here. "Made in France" on a label is a claim a brand makes about itself; Origine France Garantie is a claim someone else has checked.

One caveat shapes how EcoChineur uses it: the label certifies product ranges, not whole companies. A company appears on the official list if any one of its ranges qualifies, even when the rest of its production happens elsewhere. A brand is only placed in this category when its entire relevant range is certified, which is why some well-known certified companies are deliberately absent.

Why a brand you love may be missing

EcoChineur filters your search by adding Vinted's own brand_ids[] parameter to the URL. This means it can only ever offer brands that already exist in Vinted's brand list — and Vinted creates an entry for a brand only once people actually list items from it.

An excellent, genuinely ethical label that nobody has resold yet simply has no identifier to filter on, so EcoChineur cannot include it however much it deserves a place. This is the single biggest limit on the list. When we checked 239 clothing makers with exclusively French production, only 25 had a Vinted brand entry.

If a brand you know is missing and does have a Vinted page, suggest it.
