By Charlot
La Coquette, Le Splendide, La Rêveuse, Le Dandy, La Rockstar… Chez By Charlot, cactus and green plants all have character. Their nicknames appear on plain tags and decorated the copper or ceramic pot like deluxe candles.
It’s very recent: the young digital label unveils its entire ensemble collection in real life, presented in a very nice Batignolles setting with a family house feeling, baptized Le Salon. You can even have your own species personalized.

Feel like putting your hands in some real earth? Barbara animated repotting workshops for little ones and grownups, without forgetting the DIY to practice at home.
