We totally understand the question, and we prefer to be transparent about it.
Yes, some of our designs may be reminiscent of what you've seen elsewhere. And that's normal.
At the beginning of our adventure, we chose to buy existing molds from a specialized company in China. This is a common practice for quickly launching a brand while testing the market.
But there's a key difference.
We don't dropship.
We buy the molds. This means we have real control over what we offer, unlike many sites that simply resell standard products without any involvement.
In fact, to this day, we have never seen another site able to prove that it actually owns the molds, or concretely demonstrate its involvement in the process.
Before selecting a mold, we also take the time to ask for our community's opinion, especially on Discord. We interact directly with you to find out if a design is appealing, if it meets your expectations, or if it deserves to be developed. This approach allows us to offer products that have already been validated by the people who will actually use them.
Our toys are then made with high-quality materials, notably platinum-cured liquid silicone, known for its safety, durability, and comfort. Where many use less demanding materials, we have chosen to offer something more reliable and pleasant.
Initially, we were also subject to certain contractual constraints. We had to respect the original designs and colors, and it was even planned to keep the manufacturer's marking on the products. We deliberately refused this in order to maintain our own identity.
Some of these models still exist today. Why? Because they have become best-sellers. Customers love them, and they are part of the brand's history.
But things have evolved.
With time and the growth of Délices Défendus, we gained total freedom over the use of the molds. It was from that moment that we began to develop our own collections, with unique designs, conceived in-house.
Today, all our new products are exclusive and cannot be found elsewhere.
We still work with this company only for the purchase of molds. It has no control over our brand, our decisions, or our creations. We remain totally independent.
Finally, an important point: our products are manufactured in a professional setting, with strict production standards and experienced teams. Each step is carried out rigorously to ensure a consistent level of quality and controlled manufacturing.
Our goal is simple: to offer high-quality products, designed with you, and conceived for those who want more.
