We had the good fortune of connecting with Adeline Coutard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Adeline, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’m a free spirit and I need to be independant.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

Actually it’s not possible for me to be an employee. I did by the past but until I understood that was THE problem of my life and my no self-realisation!

After a long processus and different hard tests of life i find energy and courage to quit my old life and start my new way!
While i worked in fashion I quit all of my lifestyle, my compagny and my habits to Paris in France for « travelling » 9 months alone with a small backpack in Asia. It was initiatory months to find the way of my soul.

It was not easy, but necessary and sometimes it’s still not easy ! But i’m really ok with my choices! When we are adults we have the responsibility for becoming happy and only us have the key.

About my work, I have a lot of ideas in my mind, not all of them come reals! My objective is I need to put beauty in this world and work with unicity. That’s why i choose precious materials and i do unique piece.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

A French Book important in my processus like a latch: « the man who wanted to be happy » author Frédéric Gounelle

When I worked in fashion i was very unhappy because i was not on my own way. One morning i had a very interesting discussion with the accountant of the French compagny and this helped me to take big decisions and quit all for a new Life!

My professionnel french coach Jacques Philippe Auriol, he always gives me encouragements.
