About La Bonne Mère

An iconic symbol of Marseille, La Bonne Mère is the affectionate nickname given to the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, perched on the hill of the same name. Built in the 19th century, it watches over the city and its sailors from its summit, more than 150 meters above sea level.

Its gilded statue of the Virgin and Child, visible throughout the city, serves as a reassuring landmark for the people of Marseille, believers and non-believers alike.

A place of pilgrimage, contemplation, and exceptional views over the Mediterranean, La Bonne Mère embodies protection, faith, and the deep identity of Marseille.

Manufacturing

Drawing
Through a single stroke, The Line represents panoramas of cities, legendary mountain tops, or even mythical music tracks visually represented by their soundwaves.
Cutting
Lines are laser cut from metal sheets, with an extreme accuracy. This step is carried out in France by several partners, including a cooperative company.
Gilding
Lines are gilded with 24-carat gold via an electrolysis process ensuring agglomeration of gold on the line.
Boxes and silkscreen
Despite significant production volumes, The Line keeps an artisanal manufacturing approach for its packaging, and uses a silkscreen process to guarantee an original and qualitative result.
Packing
Final packing of products is then carried out within ESATs (work-based learning centers dedicated to people with disabilities).
