The Cartonnerie brings the elegant art of French Cartonnage
—a box making tradition originating in the 18th century—into the modern age
Since founding The Cartonnerie in 2003, I've been dedicated to
preserving, reinventing and teaching these traditional techniques
I started The Cartonnerie in 2003. I always wanted to do something creative, but I spent a long time searching for what kind of creativity, until I went to a box making workshop, also called 'French Cartonnage'. I've been making boxes by hand in a traditional French way ever since.
Besides designing and crafting commissioned box designs, I love teaching you how to craft classic and elegant boxes yourself with my online courses.
A true master at her craft
Sabrine was so lovely to work with on my branded boxes
Carefully built to hold a timeless keepsake
MELISSA NEZEZON, STATUERUE
Working with Sabrine was so seamless
She was quick to respond and made sure she had my vision in mind for my box
And she absolutely delivered! The box I received was so beautiful
You can tell she handmakes each item and spends time making sure they're absolutely perfect
I couldn't be more pleased!

Sabrine's courses are amazing! They are very easy to follow, along with the instruction videos and handouts.
It might take some more time if you decide to create a hinged box in a different size than the course (like I did right from the start, as I wanted to challenge myself a bit having some experience in bookbinding), but she gives all information you need to know to create beautiful packaging. I truly love this craft and am inspired to keep creating more!
