Christmas is coming, so L'Exception offers you a list of 10 eco-responsible gifts, to give you inspiration for unique gifts to slip under your tree this winter.
The big chill has set in, so you can opt for this beautiful Sessun scarf that will warm up the coldest. Woven in Italy, this wool blend scarf will keep you warm all winter long. It is also certified OEKO-TEX: this label guarantees through rigorous testing the absence of chemical and toxic residues for humans and the environment.
The Gabrielle Cap by Samsoe Samsoe will be the perfect gift for the recycled enthusiast. Understated and timeless, this accessory is made entirely from recycled polyamide, an ingenious way to give a second life to this highly polluting plastic.
Brand of eco-responsible leather goods, Thalie Paris offers the minimalist and timeless Pia bag model.
Thalie takes an eco-conscious approach and makes a bag from fully recycled Nappa lamb leather. This leather comes from Italian tanneries that are certified Leather Working Group, which is the organization responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather industry. This then guarantees a more sustainable source of leather.
A must-have accessory, the Julien wallet by Jérôme Dreyfuss balances functionality and elegance. Jérome Dreyfuss selects lamb and goat leather tanned with vegetable extracts. Non-toxic, 100 iodegradable and natural, vegetable tanning is a beautiful ecological alternative to conventional tanning whose origin is petrochemical and synthetic.

The brand works with the best French and European partners to pass on its love of natural materials in its warm clothing. L'Exception offers a colorful palette on its website, ranging from pastel tones to vibrant colors.
