Who are we?
Interview with the co-founders
Audrey: Hi, we’re Audrey, Seb and Victor!
We’re the co-founders of Bleu de Voyage. And to think we waited until 2025 to create this brilliant product for everyone who loves to travel light.
Let me explain. The day I missed my best friend’s wedding on June 16, 2023, because I lost my passport on the way to the airport, it was the worst thing that could have happened to me.
After that nightmare, traumatized, I realized that nearly 75 million travel documents are reported stolen or lost worldwide every year.
And that more than 200 people in France miss their flight every day after losing their passport on the way to the airport.
This simply couldn’t go on. I had to find a solution so that what I had gone through would never happen to anyone again.
So I came up with this product, inspired by the aviators who during World War II used to unpick the lining of their scarves to tuck in a photo of their loved one.
A safe and reliable way to secure and keep our essential valuables close at hand when we’re on the move.
We tested numerous prototypes, I improved them and had them validated by a hundred experienced travelers…
And today, after months of development, feedback from our community and numerous tests, we are proud to present the perfect travel accessory!
Seb: When Audrey showed me her product and let me try it, I was immediately sold. I love useful and clever items, and I immediately saw its enormous potential when I saw the quality of the product and its real usefulness. Bleu de Voyage delivers on all its promises!
Why is it an essential travel companion? And how does it work!? It’s so simple, even a child would understand immediately!
I take my neck scarf and explore its 3 uses.
1 I keep warm. It’s a fashion accessory that protects our necks while looking super stylish.
2 I keep my belongings safe. It’s a useful product thanks to a hidden pocket that allows us to tuck away our essentials: credit card; cash; phone; keys, etc…
3 I turn it into a bag if necessary. It’s a clever concept with a major innovation that makes it a unique product, as it transforms into a bag thanks to its reversible zipper.
Why! Bleu de Voyage delivers on all its promises:
1 You don’t feel the weight of the items, and it’s well designed so as not to throw off the balance of the neck scarf.
2 There’s enough room to store all our essentials in all shapes and sizes.
3 The neck scarves are very comfortable and stylish, and the bags do their job.
Like many men, I hate having things in my pockets. I don’t always have a coat with me, and carrying a large bag just for a phone and a credit card is overkill…
So I immediately bought into the concept, and today I use my Bleu de Voyage every day.
By trying out the product in everyday use, its ease of use and real usefulness naturally made me want to be part of the Bleu de Voyage adventure. And thanks to all these unisex models, I’ve solved all my Christmas gift worries (laughs)!
Audrey: The three of us are all passionate about travel: for my part, I love going away for the weekend to discover Europe’s most beautiful cities
Seb : Personally, I love going on road trips with my motorcycle and backpack
Victor: I’m always between two planes for work.
For most people, travel means freedom. Traveling means having a free mind, letting go of our mental load.
Yet when we travel, everyone feels the stress of departure, the fear of missing a train, a plane, a bus. The fear of losing your documents or credit card abroad, the fear of having your phone stolen, without which we are completely helpless today… In short, travel is certainly synonymous with relaxation and dreams, but it can also turn into a real nightmare when things don’t go as planned.
With Bleu de Voyage, we wanted to put pleasure back at the heart of every experience.
I’m heading to the airport, so I tuck my passport inside. It’s quickly accessible and secure. No more asking, “but where is it?”
I’m going shopping at the local market, so I tuck my credit card into my Bleu de Voyage.
I’m going for a bike ride or taking my dog out for a walk, so I tuck my keys and phone into my Bleu de Voyage.
I’m going to a concert or a party, so I tuck my phone and credit card into my Bleu de Voyage.
Phone, credit card, vape, lipstick, cash and other little essentials—they can all fit into our magic pocket.
As you can see, our “Bleu de Voyage” items will change your life, or more precisely, transform your travels to make them more peaceful and allow you to focus on creating unforgettable memories.
Audrey: The concept is unique and perfectly suited to anyone on the move. We selected the most suitable, comfortable materials that are also on trend.
I reinterpreted the most popular neck scarves. I kept their comfort and very fashionable look and adapted them technically to create a new concept, a wardrobe must-have. Indeed, Bleu de Voyage is not a new brand; it’s the birth of a new product that I hope will one day make it into the dictionary. “What? You don’t have your Bleu de Voyage!?”
Beyond the incredible nature of this product, we decided to give back to the planet by turning packaging that is usually thrown straight into the trash into useful, reusable, and recyclable items.
The cardboard becomes luggage tags, as they are mandatory in France, so you can attach your contact details. And as for the packaging, you receive it in a colorful pouch that will become your storage pouch in your suitcases.
We are also committed to donating a portion of our profits each year to a charity to help protect the environment.
All this seems obvious nowadays, but how many companies actually do it!
There you have it—we have a fantastic product! We need you to help us grow and make the perfect travel accessory the first step toward our next destination. We’re counting on you. Thank you for your support.
