How many times have hotel guests complained that towels and bathrobes are rough! Why not create a more resistant linen that can keep its softness? So Nicolas Sclippa and Maud Lalo, 33 and 34 years old, trained in business schools, searched for the magic material, before discovering that woven bamboo was the most efficient. They then created the Br fibre, resulting from a reasoned transformation process and culture. In 2016, they launched Comptoir du Bambou and in 2018 won the Grand Prix du jury Réseau Entreprendre 92. With their bath sheets, towels, bathrobes and bedroom linen, they now supply 300 hotels and work with LVMH and numerous spas. Turnover: one million euros per year. "We operate on a light structure, without shops or advertising costs," explains Nicolas Sclippa. We make ourselves known through social networks and trade shows. The key to the success of his start-up is to work hard, to know how to question yourself very quickly and never stop running," he says. The team, based on Route de la Reine, has four employees.

In fact, we discovered our graphic designer in a coworking space in the city!
