As the co-founder of Swivells swing dance shoes, I deeply believe that what we wear, what we use, and what we consume all tell a story - a story of style, values, and awareness.
In this article, I’m taking you on a journey through French ethical brands I truly love, creators who, like me, care just as much about impact as they do about quality. I’ve personally tested some of their products, and I wanted to share these favorites with you. ✨
Why Choose an Ethical Brand?
Today, being a responsible consumer goes far beyond buying “organic” or “natural.” It means committing to brands that:
-
produce locally,
-
prioritize sustainable or natural materials,
-
value craftsmanship and small teams,
-
and put people and the planet before profit.
These are exactly the values that guided me in choosing these partners.
🎀 Le Colonel (Lille): Celebrating Craftsmanship
When I think of a piece that instantly adds a touch of elegance to any outfit, I immediately think of Le Colonel - a brand based in Lille, creating handmade accessories crafted in France.
My favorite pieces I tested:
-
Silver glitter scrunchie – a chic, luminous accessory, perfect for elevating a simple hairstyle.
👉 Le Colonel, silver glitter scrunchie -
Gold-plated brass bracelet with Liberty Capel mustard fabric – a delicate piece that adds character to a minimalist look.

What I love about Le Colonel is the attention to detail, the quality of materials, and their local production - values that strongly resonate with the spirit of Swivells.
💚 Comme Avant: Simple, Natural & Responsible Beauty
Another favorite is Comme Avant, a French brand creating natural cosmetics handmade near Marseille.
Their philosophy is clear: designing effective skincare products with short, natural, and biodegradable ingredient lists, while minimizing environmental impact.
What I tested and loved:
-
Solid perfume – sweet and fruity with kokum butter
→ A gourmand, natural, and delicate scent. -
Castor oil lipstick – soft and long-lasting
→ A flattering color that also nourishes the lips with naturally derived ingredients. -
Bio-based makeup sponge
→ An ethical alternative to conventional beauty tools, designed to last.
Comme Avant embodies conscious beauty, without excess, highlighting carefully selected, recyclable or biodegradable materials - and above all, made in France.
🍓 Spaïcy: Natural Intimate Wellness (My Project!)
Finally, I couldn’t talk about ethical brands without introducing Spaïcy, the French wellness supplement brand I co-created.
Spaïcy was developed in collaboration with a certified French laboratory, creating natural gummies designed to support libido and overall well-being, while being:
-
100% vegan and made in France,
-
sugar-free, gluten-free, with no artificial flavors or colors,
-
and suitable for both women and men.
The unique formula combines aphrodisiac plants such as damiana and maca, a natural anti-stress ingredient (saffron), and essential vitamins that support energy, mood, and sensations.
👉 Discovering Spaïcy also means embracing a stigma-free approach to wellness.
In Conclusion: Consuming with Meaning
Today, making conscious choices also means supporting brands that embody integrity, creativity, and genuine care for their customers.
Every product - whether it’s a unique accessory, a natural cosmetic, or wellness gummies - is a way to consume less, but better, with style and awareness.
