Beautiful, good and good: the Caramel & cie recipe
Caramel & cie, committed to the development of children, creates design, durable and comfortable schoolbags.

Develop the imagination of children
Design and creative schoolbags
Caramel & cie schoolbags are beautiful because they are sober and playful.
They stimulate the creativity and imagination of our children. Because imagination is essential in their development. When they discuss, play, dream, draw, tell a story, our children learn to live with others and with themselves.
Their imagination contributes to the development of cognitive abilities involved in the social construction of their identity. It allows for the expansion of their emotional capacities, their listening and their understanding of the world while reinforcing their self-confidence.
Respect the child's back
Ergonomic and comfortable schoolbags
Our schoolbags are well made, light, strong and comfortable. Both the straps and the back are padded with an anti-perspirant honeycomb material designed to rest on the child's lower back and relieve the shoulders.
The position and size of the straps is calculated and adjusted according to the age and size of the child.
The reinforcement of the seams on the handle, the back and the inside of the schoolbag are fundamental: they prevent the schoolbag from deforming over time and thus maintain a good distribution of its weight.
They also serve to maintain books and notebooks in a good position.


Making a responsible choice
Sustainable and responsible schoolbags
Buying a Caramel & cie schoolbag is making a good and responsible choice.
The seamstresses and leatherworkers who make our schoolbags do their job in a small factory in China, BSCI certified. These craftsmen are also parents. Their working conditions, human and supportive, allow them to continue their family life and to have the means to send their children to school.
We work with recycled polyester for the interior of all our schoolbags.
Since the beginning of the adventure, Caramel & cie has had one concern: to offer a schoolbag that is 100% eco-responsible and affordable for everyone. We have not yet succeeded in sourcing a recycled material that respects the constraints of strength, lightness and cost that we require for our reinforcements, but this is the challenge we have set ourselves for the next collection!
Our commitments and know-how

Our commitments
We care about protecting the back and respecting the child's morphology. And we are constantly trying to improve so that our bags are good for the planet.
Creativity
Stimulate the imagination of our childrenEcoresponsability
100% of the collection made with 80% recycled polyester
Wellness
Ergonomics and comfortable binders
Durability
Free repair for 2 years
Making our schoolbags strong
Repair program
Eco-responsibility also means making our schoolbags and bags strong. Because a schoolbag that lasts is a schoolbag that does not become waste!
With us, there is no programmed obsolescence, just the opposite: we have a program that allows you to have your schoolbag repaired free of charge for 2 years by our partner leatherworkers so that it lasts even longer.

Recycled polyester: an eco-responsible solution?
Our schoolbags are made of 80% recycled polyester. 80% because some materials, such as the bottom, which is made of waterproof imitation leather for more resistance, are not recycled.
