of Désiré
A family of growers · Madagascar
Désiré passed away on September 2, 2026, in Vangaindrano, at the age of 81.
Three generations
after him
In Vangaindrano, everything begins with Désiré. Three generations later, we still work the way he did.
On July 1, 2025, we celebrated his 80th birthday. Our father, grandfather and great-grandfather remains the one we measure ourselves against.
This house carries
his first name
This was never a branding idea. It is a way of saying where what you receive at home comes from.
He spoke little about his work. He did it.
He leaves us patience, restraint and work done well. What we send you comes from what he taught his own.
We just wanted you to know who Désiré was.
Noro and Léo
Vangaindrano, the beginning
In the southeast of Madagascar, Désiré planted and dried for an entire life. He learned everything outdoors, watching before doing. The season decided, not him.
What the land gives
Ginger, spices: in Vangaindrano, our family grows everything except vanilla. Each harvest passes through the same hands, from field to sorting.
Passing it on
The family joins the workshop. We repeat the gesture until it is right. None of it is written down anywhere.
Staying honest
We show the raw material and explain the work. What we don't know, we say that too.
Today,
around us
We move forward with the families and the village school. We help where we live.
School supplies for the students, time when it's needed. Nothing extraordinary: the village carries us, and we give back what we can.
The vanilla of the SAVA region
Our vanilla grows in the northeast of Madagascar, in the SAVA region. We prepare it and ship it ourselves.
Vanilla pollination, flower by flower.
Patience, and work done well. You don't go faster than the land.Words of the family
