@journalsudouest 📲🤝Cofondatrice de la plateforme anti-gaspi « To Good To Go », l’entrepreneuse Lucie Basch était de passage à Bordeaux il y a quelques jours, à l'occasion du lancement de « Poppins » : une application d’échange et de location d’objets du quotidien. On vous explique. #poppins #application #partage #location #objets #outils #togooodtogo #luciebasch #lancement #bordeaux #gironde ♬ Basic Judgment - DJ BAI

🌼 The Poetry of Small Things

Just like Joyce Jonathan’s Les p’tites jolies choses, which reminds us that happiness often hides in the simplest details, Poppins celebrates the quiet beauty of everyday life by revealing the forgotten value of the objects we already own; the app transforms these “little pretty things” sleeping in our closets into shared resources that generate income, reduce overconsumption, and reconnect us to a more mindful, community‑driven way of living — a philosophy that would surely make Vianney smile as he builds his cabane in the forest, and an app he’d no doubt put to very good use.

🌱 Access Over Ownership: The Spirit Behind Poppins

« You don’t need to own a John Deere lawnmower to enjoy a perfect lawn — you just need access to one. »

This simple idea, borrowed from the world of shared tools and community sheds, captures the essence of a new way of consuming. And it’s precisely the philosophy behind Poppins, the new application imagined by Lucie Basch, cofounder of Too Good To Go, who now turns her attention to a different kind of waste: everyday objects. ✨🔄

🎒 From Mary Poppins’ Magic Bag to a New Consumption Model

For many, the name “Poppins” instantly evokes Mary Poppins’ iconic bag — seemingly empty, yet capable of producing an endless array of objects. That’s exactly the image Lucie Basch wants to summon: a world where you can find what you need, when you need it, without cluttering your home. After transforming the fight against food waste with Too Good To Go, she now tackles our overflowing cupboards. 🧳🌟

🔧 Borrow, Rent, Don’t Buy: A Smarter Way to Use Everyday Items

With her new mobile app, the entrepreneur offers a simple, intuitive solution to borrow or rent nearby items we rarely use: small appliances, DIY tools, gardening equipment, baby gear… Why buy a drill, a camping tent, or a baby travel cot if you only use them a few hours a year? Poppins lets you find them in seconds, from both individuals and professionals. 🛠️🌿👶

🤝 A Vibrant Community Built Around Sharing

The app brings together a hybrid community: passionate neighbors, local shops, major retailers, associations… all on one platform to make renting easier, safer, and more fun. With integrated messaging, users coordinate exchanges effortlessly, while Poppins Protection ensures peace of mind and compensation in case of issues. Sharing becomes as natural as buying — but far more sustainable. 💬🛡️✨

📦 A Hidden Goldmine in Every Home

Behind this initiative lies a striking fact: the average French household owns 2.5 tons of objects, nearly a third of which sit unused. A dormant goldmine — costly for our wallets and the planet. By promoting access over ownership, Poppins frees up space, reduces environmental impact, and even allows users to earn money by renting out their own items. 💸🌍📉

🌟 A New Reflex for a Lighter, Smarter Lifestyle

With Poppins, Lucie Basch offers more than an app: she invites us to rethink our relationship with consumption. Own less, enjoy more, share better. Like Mary Poppins’ magical bag, everything becomes possible — but this time, thanks to the community. Ready to try it? Download Poppins and make renting your new everyday reflex. 📲💛🔄

Dormant Capital

The Dormant Assets Revolution
Poppins has achieved something quietly revolutionary by monetizing the hidden value of unused household items, turning dormant belongings into a new income stream while reducing overconsumption, extending the lifespan of everyday objects, and shifting economic power back to individuals who can now earn money from what once gathered dust in their closets.
