Angélique Defranceschi is a bold and ambitious 22-year-old woman, and the creative force behind Bleubaïa a project she has carefully envisioned and nurtured over the years. Angélique has always had a unique perspective on the world.
Her deep fascination with water and the marine world intertwines with her admiration for the strength, diversity, and multifaceted nature of women. These powerful themes form the beating heart of Bleubaïa, a brand that celebrates the harmony between nature and femininity.
At just 19, Angélique left mainland France to settle alone in Martinique, where she pursued her studies. But the call of adventure pulled her even further. A six-month cycling journey through Asia exposed her to a rich tapestry of cultures and breathtaking landscapes, and awakened a stronger-than-ever ecological awareness. This journey, more than a simple adventure, marked a turning point in her life sparking deep introspection and profound personal transformation.
Her path then led her through Oceania before arriving in Bali a place that deeply nourished her vision of living in harmony with nature. It was there that she chose to bring Bleubaïa to life. This project, the culmination of her dreams and passions, is a true expression of her love for nature and celebration of feminine strength.
Through Bleubaïa, Angélique embodies a spirit of creativity, determination, and the celebration of feminine diversity turning her vision into inspiring realities.🐚
