Meet the founders
It was at Christmas that Sylvie Lou had a lightbulb moment: once the gifts were unwrapped, a huge amount of paper ended up in the trash. Determined to change this bad habit, she decided to come up with her own alternative. A more responsible wrapping technique that would retain the folding principle of classic wrapping paper. One year later, her first eco-friendly prototype was born.
With her partner Marie, a design enthusiast and branding expert, they founded "On s'emballe à la française", an ethical alternative to the traditional roll of wrapping paper. Their goal? To make their project a strong brand that is resolutely committed to the planet and accessible to everyone.
