Responsibility as a standard

At Caramel & cie, we believe that creating for families means taking responsibility.

And that responsibility is not a marketing argument it is a moral stance.

Our commitment doesn’t stop at children, nor at one single product type.

It applies to everything we design, whether it’s a schoolbag, a designer handbag, or an accessory for a pet.

Because Caramel children grow into adults and our commitment grows with them.

We believe that every object carries meaning.

A well-designed, fair, beautiful object is a quiet form of transmission a way of honoring those who carry it.

Environmental responsibility

We don’t believe in big declarations. We believe in consistent action.

From the beginning, we’ve grounded our work in sustainability.

Our approach rests on three pillars:

This applies to our entire collection for children, adults, and animals.

Because responsible design isn’t about age. It’s about worldview.

  • Choosing more responsible materials, selected for their durability, quality, and reduced environmental impact.

  • Producing less, but better, with models designed to last and to be handed down.

  • Considering the entire lifecycle of the product, from design to end-of-use, including recycling options on some lines.

This applies to our entire collection for children, adults, and animals.

Because responsible design isn’t about age. It’s about worldview.

Social and ethical responsibility

We work exclusively with BSCI-certified workshops, selected for the quality of their craft as well as their ethical practices.

We prioritize the most eco-responsible supply chains available, taking into account:

·      Technical constraints linked to our standards for durability and structure.

·       The right balance between quality, accessibility, and environmental impact.

Even when we produce internationally especially in China we stay attentive to every step of the process.

Our raw materials and accessories are sourced near our workshops, and transportation accounts for a negligible share of our carbon footprint.

Because distance alone doesn't define responsibility. Execution does.

Aesthetic and Educational Responsibility

Designing for children, teens, parents or pet owners means shaping their relationship to the world.

We create everyday objects that awaken sensitivity, develop taste,
nurture creativity, and help personalities emerge.

We reject functional ugliness.

We believe that beauty is a tool for learning, a form of care, a sign of
attention.

An Ethic of Attention

We believe that design begins with paying attention to others.

Understanding their needs, their desires, their habits and the web of relationships that shapes their chosen family.

We put as much care into the way we design our products as our customers do when caring for those they love.

Whether it’s about protecting a child’s back, matching an adult’s sense of style, or ensuring a pet’s comfort at Caramel & cie, responsibility is never a constraint.

It is a sign of love.
