Made in France gifts: engraved in Aveyron, printed in France
“Made in France” is often a promise printed on the label and nowhere else. Here it can be checked with every order, because nothing is made in advance. The bracelets are laser-engraved, then assembled by hand in our workshop in Aveyron, in the south of France, on a cherry wood bead and a marine cord: the number of a French department, two initials as puzzle pieces, the outline of a summit or the coordinates of a place. The posters are printed in France on 250 g matte paper, then checked at the workshop before they leave: the map of a town, the sky of a night, a family’s Breton bowls. What you see on screen as you compose is exactly what gets printed. A bracelet is €23.90; a printed poster €19.90 to €69.90 depending on size. Everything ships from Aveyron within 48 hours, and delivery is free from €49.

Personalised star map poster
The stars visible above a place on a given night, properly calculated, then printed in France. The poster goes back through the workshop before it leaves: that is where we check that the printed sky is the one you composed.

Frequently asked questions
Are your gifts really made in France?
Yes, and here is what that covers: the bracelets are laser-engraved and assembled by hand in our workshop in Aveyron; the posters are printed in France, then checked at the workshop and shipped from there. Nothing is made in advance: each piece is made for one order, from what you entered.
Where are the bracelets engraved?
At the workshop, in Aveyron. The engraving is done by laser on the cherry wood bead, from what you typed, then the bracelet is assembled by hand on its marine cord and slipped into a kraft box. It ships within 48 hours.
And the posters, where are they printed?
In France, on 250 g matte paper: at the workshop up to 40 × 60, at our printer’s for the 50 × 70 and 70 × 100, which then come back to the workshop. Every print is checked there before it ships. Since the editor’s preview is exactly what gets printed, that check is what makes sure the poster you receive is the one you saw on screen.
Is the print-it-yourself file made in France?
The file is generated by our editor from what you entered, then sent as a download link a few minutes after you order, for €8.90. The printing, on the other hand, is up to you: have it printed wherever you like, in all five sizes, as PDF or PNG.
How long does a made-to-order gift take to arrive?
Ten days to Ireland or elsewhere in the EU: 48 hours in the workshop, then four to five days in transit. Within France, a week, with two to three days of transit. Delivery is €5, and free from €49.
