Andrée Jardin
France
For 60 years, Jardin has been making beautiful wood brushes in Brittany, France. Andrée Jardin and her husband, George-René Julio, drew on their old-school know-how when they opened up their factory in 1947, and they’ve since maintained their sense of traditional beauty while incorporating modern, whimsical design touches. Their brooms, brushes, and dusters are some of the only high-quality options made in a traditional way.
