They have their eyes set on the future… Some have decided to turn to new technologies, while others draw their inspiration from the practices of yesteryear. Whatever the case, whether we’re talking about a new digital platform or a sewing machine, the know-how is there. So is the enthusiasm.
Léa Caudron Fournier, founder of La Canopée fleurie

Say goodbye to charcoal-gray bananas and brown poo-finger wallets, this is the color party! Founded last year, Canopée fleurie is guaranteed to hit the bull’s-eye when it comes to gifts for the sibling or brother-in-law. We can’t recommend it enough: you’ll be won over!

Caroline Munier, founder of Atelier des Lettres
We’re gradually losing the (immense) pleasure of receiving mail by post. At least, that’s the idea behind Caroline’s (and we share her point of view) creation of L’Atelier des Lettres. The idea? Twofold. To restore people’s taste for the pleasure of touching and reading a card received by post, while at the same time educating themselves. That’s right! You might as well combine business with pleasure. Each month, L’Atelier des lettres invites you to receive letters about historical figures. For its launch, the young Lyonnaise is betting on Victor Hugo, promising to teach us more about the life behind the great writer. Other collections are planned on Vincent Van Gogh and Olympes de Gouges.
