Dirty French Girl – Queer Jewellery, Handmade Ethics & Bespoke Creations
It didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with hands.
Metal between my fingers. A line on paper.
An idea that refused to stay quiet.
The Story Behind Dirty French Girl
My name is Chloé. I was born in Oxford, shaped by London, and in 2020, I landed in Toulouse — where something shifted. Where Dirty French Girl finally took form.
Not as a brand.
As an extension of myself.
A Queer and Feminist Jewellery Brand
I am queer. I am feminist.
And I don’t say that softly — because nothing I create comes from neutrality.
Every piece you see carries that tension, that insistence, that refusal to disappear.

What we do
-
Handmade Jewellery, Slow Craft & Ethical Materials
In my workshop, things move slowly. Each jewel passes through my hands — from the first sketch to the final polish.
I work with recycled 925 silver, brass, bronze. Materials that already lived once, reshaped into something new.
The stones I use come from people I trust, across Europe. No anonymity. No mass sourcing. Just relationships, like everything else that matters.
There is no factory here. Only me, my tools, and time. -
Custom Grillz – A Personal Process
Custom GrillzAnd then there are the grillz. They don’t exist until you do.
You come to the shop. I take a mould of your teeth — something intimate, almost vulnerable. I build the piece around you, not the other way around.
You come back, we adjust, we refine, we make it yours.
A grill is never just bought. It’s an encounter. A process. A small transformation. -
Bespoke Jewellery & One-of-a-Kind Creations
Bespoke Jewellery & One-of-a-Kind CreationsThe same goes for bespoke pieces — weddings, body jewellery, one-of-a-kind designs.
Each one begins with a conversation. And ends as something that could never belong to anyone else.
A Brand Built on Meaning, Not Just Aesthetics
Dirty French Girl was never meant to be clean. It was meant to be honest.
That’s why a part of what I earn, from certain projects, goes back to various associations doing real things for real people.
Not as a gesture. Not as an aesthetic. As a foundation.
Because I don’t believe in building something beautiful if it stands on nothing.
The Life Behind the Brand
Outside of all this, I live simply.
I draw buildings and faces, chasing lines and shadows. I sing too loudly at karaoke.
I go to the gym, trying to feel strong in my own body.
I spend time with my cat, and with the few people who truly matter.
Softness and strength.
Control and chaos.
They all find their way back into the work.
More Than Jewellery
Dirty French Girl isn’t just jewellery.
It’s something you wear when you want to feel seen.
Or powerful.
Or a little dangerous.
And if you’ve found your way here… you probably already understand.
