It all started with a coloring book and a big frustration
Hello, my name is Léa.
If you're here, we probably share the same obsession: that precise moment in the evening when you put the phone down, open your book, and the rest of the world disappears.
For me, coloring has never been "just a hobby". It was my therapy. My "pause" button after days at a hundred miles an hour.
But there was a problem.
I kept buying beautiful books (you know, those famous Mystery ones where the image reveals itself at the end), but I always ended up disappointed.
- My water-based markers left streaks.
- My alcohol markers bled through three pages at once.
- And worst of all... I could still see those wretched little black numbers through the color.
Nothing is more frustrating than spending 5 hours on an illustration only to have the result ruined by the wrong tools. I wanted a "printed" finish — smooth, flawless. I wanted to be proud of my pages.
The birth of MonPetitCurieux
I spent months testing, comparing, hunting for the "holy grail" of markers. I finally discovered the magic of acrylic ink. Opaque. Matte. Full coverage.
I created MonPetitCurieux to share that discovery.
Why the name? Because even as adults, it's that "little curious one" inside us that guides our hand. The part of us that wants to play with colors, to try things, to create — without judgement.
My promise is simple:
I only sell what I use myself on my own desk.
No pointless products here. Just the perfect tools, so your only worry is choosing the next area to color.
Welcome to my world (and soon yours).
