Marie Lopez: blogger with many faces
It is thanks to social networks that Marie Lopez became known. When the adventure began, she was one of the first Youtubers to break into the beauty niche. But that’s not the only reason for its fame. Her honesty and energetic personality quickly won over a large and loyal audience. She quickly became a star influencer with 5 million subscribers on Instagram and 3.5 million on YouTube. For some time now, she has completely changed her editorial line.
Multifaceted, she likes to fully embark on projects that resemble her and that are close to her heart. Very sensitive to ecology, it adopts another way of consuming. She tries to encourage her followers to move towards zero waste. In March 2018, she took a new turn with Leaves and Clouds, her first lifestyle store. His desire is to offer beautiful and useful products by partnering with local designers. It is therefore quite natural that Etsy will offer him a collab ‘and a creative project: a collection of original deco and lifestyle products. As this project fits perfectly with her ethical and planet-friendly lifestyle, she has selected designers who, as she says, “share the same creative vision and the same aesthetic”.
A collection that looks like him
By making her selection among all these creators, she chose to co-create her decorative accessories and everyday objects, creators working various materials, with certain talent.
“Supporting the creators who inspire our daily lives and creating beautiful objects made to last, using high quality materials and more responsible alternatives, was for me the common thread of this first collection with Etsy”, explains Enjoy Phoenix
Indeed, the goal being to give meaning to her collaboration, she chose 10 creative craftsmen from Europe. She imagined with them 21 everyday objects, perfectly corresponding to her desires and values. The Enjoy Phoenix x Etsy capsule showcases noble materials: black clay, cotton, linen, natural wool, solid wood, ceramic, raffia, jute rope. The pieces have been designed to last and for the sake of perfect aesthetics! All these objects are handcrafted and the whole process takes into account the standards, respecting the protection of the environment.
This collection is available on Etsy.com until December 30, but since it is exclusive and limited, everything will depend on stocks.
Our favorite: the chunky mesh plaid in which to curl up in front of a Netflix series, during winter evenings.
Highlighting young designers and favoring short circuits: two concerns addressed by this collection and two values close to its heart. This association consisted in imagining products which mix the know-how of the craftsmen and their inspirations and the ethics of Marie.
We feel, in the light of the interviews given by Marie Lopez, that supporting young creators and directly influencing their life, their work and their passion, motivated her engagement with Etsy. This is a factor that she considers to be paramount, which is why Etsy fits this vision perfectly. Indeed, you buy directly from the artist objects of his production. No more intermediaries and no mass production, enough to seduce this young blogger. The handmade guarantees a high level of quality and a very particular charm to which she is sensitive.
