About Couple d'idées

Couple d'idées is a Montreal brand of notebooks, stationery and bags, designed and made in the city. It also makes reflective brooches, a clever accessory that helps night walkers stay visible after dark.

The reflective brooches are handy during Montreal's long winter evenings, when it gets dark early, and make a thoughtful gift for walkers, cyclists or kids heading to school. A notebook or bag suits students, writers and anyone who likes useful, well-made everyday objects. It is a small Montreal studio that mixes practical ideas with design.
