Petits Phares
A brand illustrated by the sea
Petits Phares is Agnès: since 2018 I've illustrated notebooks and tote bags on the Ria d'Étel in Morbihan. Notebooks printed and made in Brittany, tote bags made and printed in France.
Who I am
Agnès, between studio and horizon
I'm Agnès, founder and illustrator of Petits Phares since 2018. My workspace sits on the Ria d'Étel in Morbihan: the tide, the pines and low light feed every sketch.
Petits Phares grew from wanting to share what I see and feel here: simple moments, almost childhood memories, running to the beach or watching the sea for no reason.
Today I devote my time to illustration: every notebook cover and tote motif starts as my drawing. Printing and making are done by trusted partners, in Brittany for notebooks (a few kilometres from my workspace) and in France for tote bags.
The world
Seaside poetry and childhood by the shore
My creations invite you to slow down: look, write, carry a little coast into everyday life. That's the #madeinBretagne spirit I want to share.
Landscapes that stay with you
Heath, pines, dunes, sunken lanes: images you keep inside, turned into illustration on paper or cotton.
The sea as a thread
Ria d'Étel, Gulf of Morbihan, low light: every motif draws on horizons you know or are about to discover.
Slow down, take it in
A notebook for what matters, a tote to carry that softness to the market or the beach. Simply taking your time.
Why choose my creations
Behind every notebook and tote bag is an intention: to give you something beautiful, useful and meaningful, without pretence or pressure.
