The underside of the Mark

and whether
they told you how to create
our products ?

starting

Astrid, the founder of the brand, knew very soon that she would work in the universe

textiles.
When other little girls dream of a castle and a prince with a sleeping wood, she is passionate about patterns and coupons of fabrics.

Brigitte, her mother, is definitely not for nothing! She sews a lot

and it is quite naturally that she transmits her taste for beautiful materials

and clothing.

From his family, Astrid also holds his entrepreneurial fiber.

We are independent from father to son! After a training session at Petit Bateau then Comtoir des Cotonniers,
she decided to embark on the adventure in 2017

A few years and four children later, the family is more than ever its engine.
The loop was closed in 2020, when Olivier, her husband, finally joined the company.
They say, "Finally," because all this time, he was never far away! #submarine

In 2021, changing course, the company left Paris and placed its suitcases next to Nantes City #ruee to the west. It is now the green head that the whole team continues to imagine for you a pretty and sustainable daily. Are you being told

Step 1:
we dream, we inspire,
we're listening

OUR FIRST SOURCE OF INSPIRERATION IS YOU !

All our products, we imagine them by observing
daily at 1000 per hour for children and their parents.

How ?

Talking, sounding, testing our ideas with our customers. It is at home that our products live fully
so we haven't finished listening to you !

Your feedback and remarks are nuggets
that keep us growing #stranger together

Let's recap your desires, ours.

We cogite, mix, grow.
And then we draw the product.

Step 2:
we create, we sew,
we test, we test again

Once the drawing of our dreams is finalized,
we talk about it with our manufacturers,
with whom we work hand in hand,
with no intermediary.

A few weeks later,
we get the prototype coming from Portugal.
This prototype that will become
our best friend for weeks:
we test it, we wash it, we do it, we wash it,
in short, the products are being tested.

Because quality in us is
not just a promise, it's a reality.
Once you pass the crash test,
our products are sent to the laboratory to ensure that they meet children's standards.

All set. We're sure you'll like him.

Step 3:
we find his little name

It'sa tradition little Picotin.
For each new product,
we vote internally to elect his little name.

You will have noticed, the name must rhyme with the product:
Mariette the turbulette, Gaston the ball, Marceau the backpack

With his new little name,
we can start production, let's go !

Step 4: ahead of production

We start by asking about the quantities to be produced and what colours to prefer.
Our challenge is to better anticipate your orders to avoid too many stocks.
Good news, with experience, we are getting there better and better, and we are proud to tell you that we have never had to get rid of unsold.
It is also the advantage of working without collection, with timeless products.

Step 5:
shooting

We're looking for a place to shoot,
that we always look for for days and days.

Objective: to find THE house that will make you dream,
and that will enhance our products
and our little mannequins for a day.

Those little models smiling,
who are they? who are they ?

They're your children !

Post the location of the shooting on Instagram
and you send us photos to participate.

For each shooting,
there are about ten children of all ages.

It's always a happy moment we love !

Step 6:
quality control

This is where production is finished in our workshops in Portugal...

#all beautiful organic products
disembark in our nantes workshop.

There we do a little dance of joy,
because still, it's not nothing..

And here we go for quality control
systematic and carbinated !

#brigade of the bolt and poorly cut wire !

Step 7: hot names, hot !

To customize your products, we use "hot presses".

Kesako? A hot pressure system (we paraphrase there, nan?)

realized by our super machines #bff

They rise in temperature, high, very high,
and then exert a strong pressure that permanently incrusts your first names in the matter.
After that you can wash and release your products, nothing will move, I promise !

Behind each product, there is the technical know-how and sharp eye of the workshop girls,
which prepare products one by one for optimal rendering.

Step 8:
packed it is weighed

Finally, the preparation and dispatch of orders
are carried out by Picoteam,

and you can be told it's made with a lot of love
