Our story
My name is Valentin. As a parent of young children, I created Le Minimaliste to meet a simple need: to find useful, safe, and easy-to-live-with objects, without accumulating.
At home, I observe what really matters: easy handling , simple gestures for the child, clear maintenance for the parent. Here, each product is chosen for real use : going to school, snack time in the park, playing quietly in the bedroom, falling asleep with a soft light.
Le Minimaliste is a small, independent boutique. I select little, but carefully, and I explain the essentials: material , function , lifespan . Information (BPA-free, CE, etc.) is only indicated when verified by the brand.
Where did the idea come from?
As a parent, I've often found myself faced with too many options and too little concrete information. I've chosen a different path: fewer objects, more clarity , and descriptions that help you decide without pressure.
What you will find here
-
Objects that are used every day : school, bedroom, outings.
-
Selected materials and careful finishing.
-
Simple and verifiable information (compatibility, standards when they exist).
-
Simple photos to help you project yourself easily.
Our way of selecting
-
Actual use
The product must be easy for the child (or with them) to use. Closure that does not jam, adjustable straps that stay in place , soft silicone that is easy to grip, soft, non-aggressive light . -
Materials & Safety
Priority to quality materials . We only indicate “BPA-free”, “CE”, “RoHS”, etc. if it is proven by the brand. -
Durability & maintenance
An object must last over time and be easy to maintain (simple instructions, avoiding breakage and premature wear). -
Clarity
Readable sheets, precise characteristics , without jargon.
What this means for you
-
Less hesitation : clear, usage-oriented information.
-
More autonomy for the child : simple gestures, reassuring reference points.
-
A lighter everyday life : objects that do what they are designed for .
Today and tomorrow
The Minimalist is growing slowly, with the desire to maintain this rhythm: short selection , constant demand , transparency on the information given. The objective remains the same: to help you equip your children with the essentials, without the superfluous .
