our values

Here at La Balaiterie, we're really passionate about what we do.

 

Our goal is to help to preserve ancestral French know-how of straw broom making, and rehabilitate the machines of brush makers that have been used for centuries.

 

Most importantly, we wanted to bring to market products that are practical, sustainable and unique. All of our brooms are made not only to look beautiful, but also to be strong and practical. Every piece is handmade in our workshop in France, using sorghum straw grown locally - which is then dried, sorted and dyed by our very own hands.

 

We're also proud to work with the amazingly talented artist John Carr, who creates all of our beautiful broom sleeves.

 

What does this mean? Well, it means you can purchase unique, artistic, tailor-made pieces wherever you are in the world.
