A brand illustrated by the sea

I draw notebooks and tote bags to carry your senses away: heathland, pines, Gulf light, childhood memories by the shore. More than objects: a piece of Brittany to keep close.

Who I am

Agnès, between studio and horizon

I'm Agnès, founder of Petits Phares. My workspace sits on the Ria d'Étel in Morbihan: where the tide, the pines and low-slung 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, then printing in Brittany for notebooks and production in France for tote bags.

Morbihan landscape, sea and heath in Breton light

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.
