What makes Polène, Bobbies, and Loro Piana so successful?

1. Personalization of the customer experience

These brands clearly offer their customers a unique experience. To see this for yourself, just visit one of their stores! From little touches during unboxing to hot chocolate in winter... These brands have it all figured out. It's not the products that create a great experience: it's the “extras”!

Finally, the customer service is IMPECCABLE! You can easily find support on WhatsApp, and the team is particularly responsive.

2. Online presence across all channels

All these brands also prioritize a strong online presence, while maintaining relatively minimalist designs! No “sale” slogans, or even sales at all for these DNVBs! Instead, they focus on natural, candid images that bring our most beautiful emotions to life...

Among their favorite points of contact are, of course, Google (they don't skimp on content creation!), Instagram, TikTok, and even Pinterest!

3. Quality over quantity, and responsibility!

It's true that not all DNVBs exclusively manufacture in France. However, the majority have strong CSR values as part of their guiding principles. Among the commitments that can be found are:

• The refusal to hold “sales,” considered to be overconsumption
• The implementation of “drops” (on Sundays for Sézane!) with a limited number of items to create a sense of scarcity
• A strong presence on Vinted
