Hopaal

Hopaal is a young ethical fashion brand founded by two Toulouse natives during their studies. After designing T-shirts and sweatshirts for men and women, the two friends are launching a new product: the sweater of the future

No, it's not full of LEDs and technology, it's simply made from 100% recycled fibers and manufactured in France. And that's what the future is all about: making something new out of something old without damaging the planet. With its soft honeycomb knit, it's sure to make people happy. Available for pre-order at a special price, the sweater of the future will be delivered before Christmas.

Le Baigneur shaving soap

Le Baigneur

It doesn't get much more local than this: Le Baigneur soaps are all made in Montreuil! And since beards are all the rage, we love the brand's beard soaps. The product comes in two versions: soothing and nourishing for dry skin, and healing and regenerating for sensitive skin. In both cases, the ingredients are carefully chosen for their benefits, and the saponification process is carried out cold in order to preserve all the virtues of the ingredients that make up these cosmetics. 

And for those who are still wet behind the ears, Le Baigneur also offers a range of classic soaps, still made in Montreuil and still gentle on the skin.

In just one year of existence, the Jules & Jenn brand already has an impressive collection of shoes and leather goods! For both men and women, the young brand makes it a point of honor to offer well-made products at fair prices. 

For example, these Italian leather Chelsea boots are handmade in one of their partner workshops in Portugal. Jules & Jenn is completely transparent, even going so far as to disclose its manufacturing costs! As a result, the brand sells its products at around half the price of traditional brands by cutting out the middleman. In short, quality at a very reasonable price!

Loom recently redesigned its chinos based on customer feedback to make them even more durable and comfortable. And at $60, the price is unbeatable! Loom chinos are available in three colors: navy blue, tobacco, and beige.

Shopping lists, thoughts, appointments... We always have something to write down in a little notebook! And if it's made in France by two illustrators and is super cute, even better, right?
