FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

La marque Joli Lab a été créée en 2018 par Margot Tiret et Marie Mouly, deux amies partageant la même passion pour le DIY. Elles ont depuis été rejointes par plusieurs collaboratrices passionnées de couture, qui participent au quotidien au développement de la marque. Vous voulez en apprendre un peu plus sur notre petite entreprise? Rendez-vous sur la page "Notre histoire".

All our collections are designed in our Lyon workshop. For the raw materials of our sewing kits, we have made the demanding choice to privilege French partners. If the 100% made in France is not reached for practical and economic reasons, we can already boast that our patterns, pouches and fabrics are printed in France and that our threads and buttons are also made there.

Yes it's normal, the monthly box is no longer available since November 10th 2022. We decided to stop it despite its success, preferring to expand our range of sewing kits sold individually, which was very often asked. The economic crisis also passed by, and our pretty box was not profitable enough anymore. However, there was no question of lowering our level of quality or passing on the cost increases to the subscription price. We prefer to change course and offer you more complete and always hotter collections of sewing kits, while continuing, for each new pattern, to accompany you thanks to our video tutorials.
