We are Stephen and Delphine, an Anglo-French couple who, after spending 10 years living and working in London, changed everything and moved to the South of France to start a new life and a new business.



We have put our common passion for a certain lifestyle, great design and great food into this shop. We want to sell things of simple beauty that have an everyday use, from home accessories and childrens gifts to kitchen accessories and fine gourmet food.



Nothing on our site is produced on an industrial scale and 90% of products in the shop are made in Europe. We get a much greater satisfaction from the knowledge that these products have come from a variety of young designers, unknown artisans or old heritage manufactures from Europe rather than all shipped from far away !



In the shop you’ll find a happy mix of timeless, simple, functional products and colourful, playful finishing touches. We have selected products that have touched us or made us smile, particularly admiring products that are uncomplicated, designed to their simplest perfection.



We both love food so this area was particularly enjoyable for us as we are tasting so much and really love everything we have in the shop so far. Whether it’s champagne vinegar from Reims in Champagne, olive oil made with Taggiasca olives or quite simply the best damson jam we have ever tasted from Yorkshire. If you love food or want to buy a gift for someone you will find something quite special here on our site.



We hope you will enjoy the simplicity of the intention behind our shop and the products we've selected for you. We’d love to know what you think about our shop, or anything else you think we might find interesting.
