France At Your Doorstep--OuiPlease
I can’t always jet off to Paris whenever I would like. Really, such a shame! But now, I, and you other French lovers, can have the next best thing, Oui Please – a carefully curated box full of items from France. I have shared OuiPlease before and will continue sharing them because it’s a brand I love!! Find those past posts here.
Each delivery is a different experience from various regions in France. So you don’t only get the best from Paris but from all over France. The holiday box was one of my very favorites thus far! The boxes just keep getting better and better!! Everything from my Maradji scarf, hand and body wash from Rose et Marius, a toiletry bag from Rive Droite , candies from Maison Boissier , and so, so much more! Each box is valued at over $400 (but you pay far less) – which is much cheaper than that $1500 plane ticket you were just looking at! While there is no replacing the actual experience of visiting France, Oui Please is definitely the next best option! Consider it for yourself or as a gift for that person in your life who can never get enough of travel or France!
MARADJI PARIS Scarf
No matter the season, French women cannot live without a classic silk scarf. The Maradji brand was launched in 2014 by French women Delphine Lopez. Delphine was a graduate of the l’Istituto Europeo di Design de Barcelone in 2008, and from her studies the gained a love for traveling and exploring the world. She loved the cosmopolitan look and landed on the idea of creating a line of scarves and accessories. These scarves are made in Sanganer, India, in the family business of Madhu, where Delphine did her graduation internship. The small size of the workshop allows the company to guarantee its integrity and respect for working conditions which was an essential component for Delphine. Craftsmanship is a keyword to describe the making of these products.
The product
These scarves are made from silk and modal, a super soft fiber made from beech trees, and are printed by hand. The company is certified by SA8000, one of the most demanding certifications to get, and this demonstrates its social responsibility by promoting the rights of workers. Even though the scarves are made in India, they still comply with the European standards of production and chemical use.

She wanted to create a line of products that embodied these scents and memories. That is how Rose et Marius was created. Each Rose et Marius creation is hand-made in France by talented craftsmen who have devoted their lives to creating products people will love.

FRENCH BRAND MAISON BOISSIER
Who loves sweet treats!?! French Brand Maison Boissier is the perfect winter treat that will satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. These candies and spreads are irresistible! Founded by Bélissaire Boissier in 1827, Maison Boissier is one of Paris’s oldest and most highly regarded sweets shops. The Maison Boissier delicacies were originally favored just by the ladies of Paris high society but are now sold all over the world. In 2000, Maison Boissier was taken over by Sylvie Douce and François Jeannet, the Salon du Chocolat, where they added different chocolates to the mix! These sweet treats have been enjoyed by Parisians alike!
I received this gorgeous tin filled with delicious citrus-flavored candies. These candies are the perfect balance between just enough fruit flavor to balance out the sugary taste every candy needs! I also received a tube of the Maison Boissier Paris Crème De Marrons. This chestnut spread is a French delicacy that can be enjoyed in several different ways! They suggest spreading it on your toast in the morning or adding it on top of your favorite ice cream for dessert. I even added it to my oatmeal and OMG!!!!! YUM!!! Maison Boissier uses only the best ingredients!
FER À CHEVAL FRENCH LUXURY SOAPS
Fer à Cheval is the oldest soap factory in Marseille! “In 1856, on chemin de Saint-Marthe, a candle manufacturer quickly and exclusively became a factory dedicated to producing Marseille Soap… After an acquisition in 1895, the factory manufactured Marseille soap on behalf of several brands including Le Chat, and in 1953 it assumed charge of perpetuating a historic brand that since 2003 remains the factory’s only representative: Fer à Cheval.”
There is nothing better than a good bar of soap, and Fer à Cheval prides itself in being one of the best. “The soap bars are formulated with Fer à Cheval Marseille soap, crafted in cauldrons by our master soapmakers, then enriched with vegetable oils (argan oil, and shea butter).” These ingredients combine to make one of the gentlest bars of soap on the market. Each scent is handpicked and guaranteed not to disappoint.
CODAGE BEAUTY FORMULA
CODAGE is a Paris-based beauty company that excels in the art of formulation. Their expertise, inherited from the savoir faire of the traditional French pharmacy, is based on solving an individual’s skin issues through an understanding of active ingredients and the precision of their dosage. CODAGE’s individualized compositions are adapted to meet your skin’s unique requirements, no matter your skin type.
CODAGE was begun by Amandine and Julien Azencott, siblings from a family rooted in the world of medicine. Overwhelmed by the impersonal nature of contemporary skincare, Amandine and Julien created CODAGE to acknowledge the uniqueness of each person’s skin and the particular treatment it demands. While this idea seems modern and fresh, it is truly a revival of the time-old tradition of service that was once at the heart of cosmetology.
I am loving the Hydration Intense I received! My skin is very dry..well, oily in my T-zone…super dry else where! It feels amazing and does not feel heavy or greasy!
Rive Droite ParisThe Recycled Cotton Toiletry Bag
THE LIFESTYLE OF CONSCIOUS TRIBES
Because 13 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year in the world, and only 2 million are recycled, we have created Rive Droite to contribute, on our scale, to make sustainable fashion desirable. Because yes, it is possible to create cool, quality, eco-designed accessories, at the right price, while respecting people and the environment. From recycled cotton, scraps of upcycled denim, end of fabric stocks. Rive Droite Paris was born with this desire. As a nod to their beloved Paris, where it all started: each of our products is named after a street on the Right Bank.
Hermel is THE toiletry bag you need to put all your favorite beauty products in during your winter weekends. Is your foundation leaking, your toothpaste tube opening? Do not panic: a little machine tour and it will only be a bad memory. You will love its large capacity, its recycled cotton and its side handle to catch it easily. The linings in this Fall Winter collection have floral or graphic patterns. They will not always be exactly the same, and will change according to the supply of end of fabric stocks, but we will only choose the prettiest.Mine is a vivid floral pattern and I am so obsessed!
SOOOO GOOD! Trés Magnif!
