Billes & Co

Children have been playing with marbles since time immemorial. From Ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, they have popped up everywhere: those small round spheres with their enchanting luster, their clicking sound, and their endless patterns. Manu and Claire found this such a beautiful concept that they started Billes & Co in France, a brand that showcases marbles as you have never seen them before. They source their marbles from all over the world and bring them together in boxes centered around a specific theme, each with its own universe. From galactic gleam to tropical paradise: every set tells a story.

Small works of art to play with

Each box is hand-painted by Manu in their French studio, meaning no two are exactly alike. The boxes themselves are made from natural and recycled materials, so there is no plastic blister pack that ends up in the trash after opening. Furthermore, marbles require nothing from a child: rolling, aiming, trading, collecting, sorting by color. Fine motor skills and imagination all in one, with no batteries and no manual. Moreover, a marble does not wear out and never goes out of style, so such a box is just as much a gift for a collector or an eye-catcher on a shelf as it is a toy for your marble run.
