What Carrés Sauvages does

Carrés Sauvages is a Paris-based artisanal bean-to-bar chocolate maker that produces premium chocolate tablets, pralined bites, functional cocoa powders, curated gift boxes, and collagen-enriched truffles under the "Beauty Food" concept, combining indulgence with functional ingredients such as marine collagen, ceramides, and adaptogens.

The company monetizes through three streams: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on its Shopify storefront as a one-time-purchase model (no subscription), B2B custom-creation services for luxury hotels, spas, concept stores, and corporate clients, and corporate events including team-building workshops and cacao-themed dinners. Pricing spans €0.84 impulse minis to €200+ premium gift collections, with free shipping above €60 in France and 2x/3x installment payment plans for orders over €120. The primary customer segments are beauty-conscious wellness consumers seeking functional indulgence and luxury hospitality/spa B2B buyers; secondary segments include premium gift seekers.

The company is privately held as a single-shareholder SASU with €1,000 registered capital and no disclosed external funding, led by founder Laure Mannessier. Geographic reach covers France metropolitan, the European Union, and the United States (with customs-duty disclosures from August 2025), but excludes DOM-TOM. Distribution is anchored on the owned digital channel and selective B2B partnerships, with named co-creation collaborations including DIOR, Wild & The Moon, Le Club des Seins, Mathilde Favier, and Atelier Loune.
