Paillettes et Moustaches

What Paillettes et Moustaches does

Paillettes et Moustaches is a French promotional-products distributor headquartered in Asnières-lès-Dijon (Burgundy) with a secondary operational office in Lausanne, Switzerland. The company supplies personalized advertising objects (mugs, pens, USB keys, bags, eco-friendly accessories) and customized textile products (T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts, jackets, workwear, team uniforms) to businesses, local authorities and public institutions, associations, and sports clubs across Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Vaud.

Revenue is generated through one-time, per-order transactions for personalized physical goods; pricing is bespoke and quote-based, with customers initiating contact via phone, email, or a custom-creation form on the company's e-commerce storefront. The commercial motion is sales-led and consultative, with the company accompanying clients from graphic creation through to delivery, and supported by a curated multi-brand catalogue positioned partially around a "Made in Europe" thematic.

The underlying technology is a multi-technique customization stack (embroidery, screen printing, DTF transfer, screen printing transfer, laser engraving, digital printing, pad printing, doming, sublimation) that the company applies across textile, metal, plastic, ceramic, and glass substrates. Operations run through a direct e-commerce website, a digital product catalog hosted on Publitas, and active organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn); no AI, API, or proprietary platform components are disclosed.
