The values at the Atelier

  • Every piece of jewellery here is unique. Limited editions are infrequent and posted on my ETSY account littlewinterfactory
    Each item is crafted by me in my workshop and beading station located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

    I know my products because I test them. Furthermore, I'm familiar with my suppliers and can vouch for their reliability. Most of them rigorously adhere to the R.E.A.C.H. regulations. You can learn more about it here: https://echa.europa.eu

    I don't overproduce, nor do I wish to participate in the mass-production practices of many suppliers. My stock is limited and sells out quickly. Most of the spare parts have been sourced very meticulously and often at different times, ensuring that once a model is crafted, it won't be produced again.

    This approach guarantees a distinct style of jewellery that is uniquely yours, unseen on anyone else.

  • I recycle nearly all the packaging from my daily orders and purchases. The packaging I use to send out My Little Winter Factory orders is 90% recycled. Since the packaging already exists, it makes sense to reuse it.

    When my customers purchase a piece of jewellery from me, it says something about their values: we all have a responsibility towards the Environment and my customers clearly demonstrate that too.

    The immediate wrapping that comes into contact with the jewellery is new, bought or handmade, thoughtfully selected and crafted from reusable materials such as fabric, cardboard, and thread.

    All these decisions help me control my production and significantly reduce my environmental footprint.

    To help the planet ♻ Reduce Reuse Recycle

  • My Little Winter Factory is a registered French artisanal company, adhering to the standards and obligations set by the French legislation.

    My legal jeweller's official hallmark, "S-P", is stamped onto the jewellery when required and feasible. It is also detailed in the product's description.

    As for my brand hallmark - the Iceberg - it is typically stamped on a raw brass or bronze sequin. However, for jewellery designed and crafted with gold-plated materials as Gold-Filled and 3 microns-layer Gold or with 925 Silver, a sequin of a similar material is used for the stamping.

    It's worth noting that brass and bronze will oxidise over time. This patina contributes to the piece's evolving story, reflecting our perception and appreciation of Time.

Before I forget

This isn't jewellery made by a woman solely for women. Anyone who appreciates it can wear it, whenever they choose.

My jewellery isn't designed with a specific gender or fashionable time in mind.

Enjoy your visit
