Q DE BOUTEILLES - FRANCECLAT INTERNATIONAL

Glass upcycling factory since 2016

Discover the world of Q de bouteilles. Behind the brand, there is a faithful appreciation, a sensation of the raw element: the evidence of a good idea.

We are Victoire and Gauthier, passionate about beauty above all, and about gastronomy in the sense of a taste for beautiful products and large tables where the world is put to rights! It was Gauthier who started the adventure in the summer of 2016, not with the ambition of being where we are today (at least in the early days) but with a conviction, that of recreating an object from a bottle emptied during an evening with friends. What could be more natural than to see a glass born to complete the circle.

Gauthier's primary mission at the beginning of the Q de Bouteilles adventure was to give new life to bottles. First tested with our friends and acquaintances in the restaurant trade, the products were finally very popular and demand flourished with this business project where I joined Gauthier. Five and a half years of research and development later, we have now mastered the process that is the signature of Q de Bouteilles. We have also innovated to offer more and more outlets for our bottles! We create objects with a sober and timeless design, with personal convictions concerning eco-responsibility.

A small company that became big! Today, our customers have diversified, from the general public to restaurant and tableware professionals, with some fantastic partnerships to boot. We are now a team of 16 people, 11 of whom work in production, handling and shipping. The rest of the team is dedicated to commercial activities.

The new life of bottles. The story begins at the origin of the bottle's life. We started by working directly with restaurant owners to collect bottles, and then we created partnerships with professionals in the glass and wine world more broadly, from winemakers to bottle manufacturers. The latter must sometimes destroy entire batches of bottles due to manufacturing defects. This is where we come in, finding a new use for these discarded bottles.
