Our values

Le Repère du Zèbre is French commitment, ecological and responsible. Margot has made it a point of honor and passion to seek out talented designers, and has found partnerships with brands of excellence.

Our products are exclusively made in France. They showcase our country’s know-how, combining quality and authenticity.

  • Authenticity: quality and durability are guaranteed in the selection of our products.
  • Ecology: Le Repère du Zèbre chooses committed suppliers who work in an eco-responsible way to manufacture their products. Choosing materials that are local or close to home is a priority. Exchanges and proximity to suppliers enable transparent dialogue and respect for human labor under the right conditions. Manufacturing methods are often based on ancient know-how. So Margot can tell you about each item, its origin, how it was made, and the company or person who designed it.

Upcycling

In the store, you’ll discover a number of objects made from recycled materials. This method, known as Upcycling, gives a 2nd life to an object or material.

That’s why you’ll find original items in this concept store. You’ll be thrilled by the metamorphosis of these objects.

From wine bottles, you can light a Maison Tchin-tchin candle or drink from a Q bottle glass.

Wear earrings made from old francs.
