“In May, do as you please,”as the saying goes. We took it literally! This month, Kipli teamed up with three lovely French brands, each with its own distinct style. If you missed them, we’re giving you a chance to catch up today and introduce them to you!
Mini Worlds: Recycled Toys That Spark Endless Imagination
Mini Mondes is the story of Marine and Quentin, who set themselves the crazy challenge of revolutionizing the toy industry in France. After surveying hundreds of parents, they launched their first iconic van and introduced the Duchemin family to the public. The entire line is made from recycled plastic and entirely manufactured in France. Less waste and local production—that’s all it took to win over parents and kids alike!
Since then, the toy line has expanded. The Duchemens’ van has been joined by a large sailboat that’s just as colorful as ever. Mini Mondes also offers educational travel journals to help children appreciate the beauty of the world and understand the importance of protecting the planet’s resources.While the Duchemens travel the world in a van or on a sailboat, Mini Mondes remains committed to local production. No more toys made in China! The brand listens to its customers from Brittany, where everything is made. The biggest perk? It donates 1% of its profits to an organization that provides vacations for children. It all comes full circle.
Le Vent à la Française: French elegance with a nautical flair
"Made in France" is on the rise, and Charles and Louis would certainly agree! The founders of Le Vent à la Française are committed to preserving French fashion expertise. Inspired by travel and the world of the sea, they launched their brand in 2017 to add a touch of elegance to our wrists.Le Vent à la Française offers not only delicate bracelets but also socks, sweatshirts, and beanies—all made entirely in France. Each product is designed to last and evokes the maritime world so dear to the founders. The brand also chooses materials with a reduced environmental impact, such as wood from sustainably managed forests and recycled polyester.Committed to social responsibility, Le Vent à la Française partners with an ESAT (a workshop for people with disabilities) to manufacture its bracelets and provides daily support to the Ligue Handisport Auvergne Rhône-Alpes. Ultimately, the partnership between Kipli and Le Vent à la Française was a natural fit: craftsmanship, transparency, high-quality raw materials… What else?
