OUR FOCUS IS TO 'MINIMISE OUR HUMAN FOOTPRINT'

The Earth is in the midst of a Climate and Wildlife Emergency, and it's crucial that we all work to #MinimiseOurHumanFootprint. A key step is choosing high-quality, sustainable and eco-conscious products designed for longevity. Ateliers Verts offers an unparalleled selection of carefully curated and rated, beautifully crafted, eco-conscious items for you and your home, making it easier to make responsible choices, without compromising on luxury.

Our founder

Andrew has a long history of involvement with consumer brands covering a wide number of industries whilst simultaneously having a keen interest in the environment and supporting various environmental charities. Living in London, he relishes every opportunity to venture into the countryside with his kids and surround them innature.

THE CATALYST

In 2018 Andrew was attending his industry’s annual awards dinner and at the end of that evening all the guests were given an enormous goodie bag the size of a large pillowcase stuffed with toys, pens, DVD’s, comics, stickers, sweets, gifts and keyrings. They were mostly entirely made of plastic and were low-value, non-essential items, all of which he ended up giving to a local charity shop. He knew there had to be better way. He found it was so tricky to find high end eco conscious products, that he decided to establish Ateliers Verts (Fr. 'Green Workshops') for everyone who wanted to find them and for those who wanted to discover the activities of eco charities & good causes.
