At April Please, we are sensitive to ethical brands and sincere values. That is why we are offering you 20 ethical brands to give or receive for Christmas.
1/ Organic Cocoon, the floral candles
Surprise your loved ones with a unique piece, made near Paris to create a cosy and warm atmosphere during the holidays and throughout the year. Organic Cocoon's floral candles are made with essential oils based on aromatherapy to improve your mood and pamper your body.
2/ Gllu, the designer jewelry box
What could be better than a gorgeous jewelry box with a super stylish design to store your April Please creations?! Produced in small batches, they are made using an environmentally friendly process, then assembled and stored in Normandy. We love their ultra-practical compartments and built-in mirror for admiring yourself.
3/ Sélection M, the vintage decor and furniture online shop
Online home decor store. Sélection M offers you decor and furniture items in different styles, prioritizing artisanal work and vintage pieces. Marine (the company's founder) also responds to custom requests, and we love that!
4/ Betjeman & Barton, the Slow Life by Chloé and You tea
Made with Chinese green tea and subtle notes of hibiscus, rose, and apple, this drink available in a limited edition can be enjoyed hot or iced. Gently disconnect, enjoy the present moment, or offer a wellness break to your loved ones.
5/ Piplet Paper, messages of love for the whole family
Decorate your walls or those of your loved ones with a personalized poster—that is Ségolène's mission, offering to create illustrations that reflect you. Give an exclusive and custom-made gift to be sure to make someone happy.
6/ Muùne Atelier, the poetry-inspired clothing line
(Treating) yourself consciously is now possible. Humanely responsible, the brand's clothing is made in Nepal to move away from mass production techniques, to support local craftsmanship, and allow artisans to access decent living conditions. We admire it.
7/ Oden, the 100% natural cosmetics
With Oden, take care of your skin while respecting the environment. Made with natural French ingredients, the products are handmade in France, following an eco-friendly processing method that consumes very little energy.
8/ Audrey Burn Paris, the vegan lipsticks
Audrey Burn defends French know-how by promoting local talent and advocates for a conscious and eco-responsible vision of beauty. Discover a wide range of stunning shades to continue enhancing your lips despite wearing a mask.
9/ Nolença, the enchanted perfumes
A beautiful and complex perfumery at a fair and accessible price is the promise of Nolença. The brand is committed to respecting the environment and invites you to take the time to (treat yourself to) a moment of lightness and an exceptional fragrance.
10/ Polène, the Parisian leather goods
Polène promotes craftsmanship through its collections handmade in Spain. Discover a wide range of bags and small leather goods based on demanding creativity and excellent know-how.
11/ Bachca, the bristle brushes
The brand offers you designer and innovative makeup brushes and hairbrushes made from noble and natural materials. Designed with respect for the environment, these products are machine-shaped and finished by hand.
12/ Herbarium, the flowered walls
Say yes to the beauty of nature! Brighten up your walls and thus your daily life with herbariums made in Paris. The designs are diverse and varied to satisfy a great number of your desires.
13/ Entoure, fasten your seatbelt!
Creating contemporary belts, upcycled, with respect for people and the environment is Entoure's daily business. Made in limited series, the belts are made in France and numbered to bring exclusivity to customers.
14/ Poolday Paris, the basic swimwear
Poolday highlights simplicity with swimwear with minimalist, feminine, sexy, and comfortable cuts. We fall for ourselves or our girlfriends, because holidays come early or late!
15/ Martès, the functional leather goods
One of the mantras of Martès is to use what already exists before producing something new. That is why the brand uses leather from dormant French tannery stocks to produce their high-end bags.
16/ Little Anana, the art of cutting made in the South-East
Do you know pegboards? They are perforated wooden boards that allow for a multitude of combinations! And at April Please, we love modularity. The brand has also just launched a line of wooden decor and furniture items (always): asymmetrical mirror, stool, coffee table...
17/ Lazuli Eyewear, a new look
Like the blue of Lapis Lazuli that invites travel and crossing the seas, Lazuli Eyewear offers sunglasses to follow you on all your journeys. A plant-based material (Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate), precise French manufacturing, chic design, you need nothing more to want to look at the world with one of their frames.
18/ Coco Frio, a little Italian flair
And to go with the sunglasses? A pretty swimsuit of course. Coco Frio succeeds in the crazy challenge of combining fashion and recycled material. The pieces are made of Econyl, a fabric made from plastic debris and fishing nets found in the oceans. The brand values waste and opts for much less polluting production! Ready to dive into the big pool?
19/ Van Palma
Stop everything! Van Palma is THE brand of hats that are way too cool and make us want one, summer or winter. Designed in Marseille, crafted artisanally in Italy, we love the extra touch that the designer Victoria Sanguinetti gives them. Her hats become real jewelry, delicately accessorized with satin ribbons, French embroidery, gold-plated chains...
20/ Andore Paris
We follow this new brand closely on Instagram and eagerly await its crowdfunding campaign on Kiss Kiss Bank Bank. Why? Because this ethical and ultra-fashionable knitwear brand is invested in animal welfare and ensures their well-being. Yes, we can imagine, create, and sell sweaters while taking care of our animal friends. The extra thing? Even the buttons on the cardigans are made of recycled materials. Another big plus.
