The key is
having the choice.

My Self Key was born of a trauma…

DISCOVER

Hi, I'm Léa Bauchet.

In 2022, I was drugged and raped twice. Since then, I have been fighting a terrible, unfair and exhausting legal battle.

And I asked myself: "What was I missing to prevent this assault?"

That's how the idea was born: a seemingly ordinary keychain, packed with technology to prevent other women, children and men from going through what I went through.
