6:55 a.m. Mouvement Moutonneux (natural wool duvet)
With her textile designer diploma, Émilie Rizzo worked since 2008 for different fashion brands, ready-to-wear, Haute-Couture, jewelry and Outdoor for around ten years as a fashion designer and stylist. When her second son arrived, the need to give meaning and humanity to what she was doing forced her to stop everything in 2019 and return home to Haute-Loire, to Bas-en-Basset .
She takes the time, Covid obliges, to know what she really wanted to be useful for. It was by getting to know her new neighbors, farmers, that her project took hold: she discovered that wool was not valued enough. While in the past sheep's wool was worked as a precious material, today it is the animal's meat which is a source of profitability, relegating wool to the status of waste over time.
18 months later, she created her company 6:55 movement sheep to create her job with a common thread: sheep's wool and two dreams: that of having an impact on the relocation of French wool and showing that we can find better solutions using materials already available around us (wool is a natural, ecological and economical material which grows continuously on the backs of sheep), and on the other hand, addressing a major health issue which is sleep by offering an alternative solution preferable to petrochemicals to combat poor sleep and reinvent this refuge zone that is the bed.
In 2023, she applied for the Artinov Haute-Loire artisanal innovation competition with her duvets and pillows in 100% pure sheep wool and was a winner in the “Environmental Innovation” category.
