From the very beginning, Iron Back has been built on two values: performance and compassion. The first is reflected in the clothing we design. The second must also be reflected in our actions.
The Origins hoodies are now being delivered, and orders are helping the brand grow. We are also beginning to turn our commitment to solidarity into action: an initial donation of €100 to l’Entraide Scolaire Amicale (E.S.A.), made on November 4, 2026.
Why start with education?
We offer our support to the teachers and staff who keep schools running every day. As the November 5 mobilization approaches, we have chosen to dedicate our first donation to an association that helps children struggling in school.
Equal opportunity is important to us. Every child should be able to receive support when they face difficulties, regardless of their family’s means. This conviction is what led us to the E.S.A.
The E.S.A.: support that goes beyond homework
The Entraide Scolaire Amicale supports children from disadvantaged backgrounds who are struggling in school, from first grade through the final year of high school.
Its approach is based on a regular relationship: a volunteer visits the child’s home every week and commits to supporting them for at least one school year. This ongoing support gives them time to get to know each other and make progress together.
The association supports several aspects of the child’s life:
- Schoolwork, by reviewing the basics, working on learning methods, and helping with questions about future education and career paths.
- Opening up to the world, through conversation, discovery, and cultural outings or other activities.
- The parent-child connection, by helping parents understand school expectations and take part in their child’s education.
This approach resonates with us: taking the time, being present, and helping a child build confidence and independence. The E.S.A. works alongside schools, supporting families directly.
A first commitment fulfilled
This €100 donation marks the beginning of the contributions we intend to continue with every sale.
Solidarity has been part of the Iron Back project since its inception. As sales grow, we will support associations with regular donations. Our goal: to grow this contribution alongside Iron Back, by publishing the amounts donated and supporting documentation.
We will publish the amounts donated, the dates, and supporting documentation on our “Solidarity Commitments” page. There, you can follow our progress over time and find the associations we choose to support in our journal.
This initial payment was made personally by Axel Buron, founder of Iron Back, as part of this commitment.
Thank you to everyone who keeps the brand alive. Your orders allow us to move the project forward and begin to fulfill this promise as well.
