HIGH-QUALITY, ECO-RESPONSIBLE CREATIONS
An exceptional box
Our boxes are assembled exclusively in a small workshop in France near the Swiss border, collaborating with the world's leading brands. They are cloche boxes with lids, for optimum preservation and lasting protection of your pieces. The paper used is recycled, and the printing is eco-friendly, using water-based silkscreen.
The color combination, brown for the box and beige for our logo, underlines the softness, sincerity and comforting aspect of CÔTOYER, like a bubble of well-being for your pieces. If you look closely, you'll see in the subtle, pleasing texture of the paper an evocation of our cutting element, with its rounded curves.

FUROSHIKI FABRIC
To delicately wrap and preserve your shoes and belts, we've carefully designed a reusable Furoshiki fabric,inspired by Japan tradition, in order to reduce waste. The fabric was chosen for its elegant toile de Jouy pattern, with foliage and animals, representing the beauty of nature. The cotton is organic and GOTS,which certifies a total absence of human exploitation, and the total absence of pesticides for optimal respect of biodiversity, workers and animals. It is woven woven in Spain, and hand-assembled in France in an artisanal sewing workshop. On the back is an iron-on label with care instructions for your fabric.
Furoshiki fabric is designed to protect and preserve your pieces, and is intended to accompany them. However, you can use it as you wish for other purposes, to embellish a bag for example, or give free rein to your imagination.
