Our mission and values
OUR QUIRKY MISSION:
We’re on a mission to make fashion, sustainability, and upcycling the stars of the souvenir world. Here’s what our wacky goals look like:
To Turn Souvenirs Into Fashion Statements
Souvenirs shouldn’t be boring – they should be unique, stylish fashion pieces. We upcycle pre-loved garments into chic, Parisian-inspired creations. Every piece is a conversation starter, blending sustainability with style.

To Promote Upcycling as the Heart of Fashion
At Lingobilia, upcycled fashion is our heartbeat. We transform second-hand clothing with patchwork, embroidery, and denim into one-of-a-kind pieces, proving that fashion can be fabulous and eco-friendly.

To Create Educational & Informative Souvenirs
Each product tells a story. Our designs infuse lessons about French language, culture, and history, enriching your travel experience with fashion that speaks to both the heart and the mind.

To Combine Humor & Style
Fashion doesn’t have to be serious. We love blending humor with style, adding playful touches and quirky details to reflect current trends. Life’s too short for boring clothes!
(YES, THE EIFFEL TOWER CAN BE TURNED INTO A NOSE…)
To Introduce Multilingual Statements
We break the language barrier by offering designs in multiple languages, celebrating a global perspective of Paris and making our pieces accessible to everyone.

To Embrace Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability is at our core. We produce on-demand, reduce waste, use eco-friendly materials, and focus on upcycling to create distinctive, planet-friendly souvenirs.
(WE RE-USE, RE-DO, RE-CYCLE, RE-PARIS…)
