LES GEORGETTES RENDEZ-VOUS: BODY AND MIND
Les Georgettes are spontaneous, cheerful and creative women who have something to say. They love being free to think, share their ideas and carry loved ones along with them. That's why Les Georgettes has put together a selection of works created by plucky women. With these books, podcasts, films, series, exhibitions and reports, we aim to inspire you, give you a break from your to-do list, move you and remind you that we're stronger together.

THIS MONTH:
BODY AND MIND
This first culture list especially for women explores the body, and fundamentally scrutinises femininity, society and our relationships with others and ourselves. Happy reading!
OUR SELECTION
What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I would say that it is developing products that have a meaning — it's important for me that there is an ethical value, such as the fact that it is jewelry made in France, with prestigious know-how. But besides that, making women happy. We always put our customers at the heart of our discussions in order to offer them innovative jewelry, to reinvent ourselves every season, but also to offer them new designs, new materials, always with the aim of making them happy!
If you had to tell your best anecdote, it would be...
We regularly organize consumer panels and during these panels, we meet our clients who are fans of the brand. So, one day I met a woman who was covered with Les Georgettes from head to toe, I had never seen so much jewelry on a woman before! She had rings on each finger, three necklaces around her neck, lots of bracelets, and it all went together perfectly, even with her outfit. She was just amazing, she looked so good, she was elegant and totally embraced her 'full Les Georgettes' side!
