My materials
Your sentimental textile or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest:
- Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): by default salvaged leather (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc "leather")…
- Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
- Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
- Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow… Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
- Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
The finishes
For leatherwork designs, the exterior of your piece is cut according to one of three finishes — each giving a distinct personality to your sentimental fabric:
- Signature: organic, fun and full of life. The fabric pieces are cut in free shapes inspired by my visual identity. Perfect for small scraps, or for a piece that sparkles.
- Plénitude: generous, rounded patches. The fabric fills the space with softness and serenity, for an elegant, calming result.
- Contradictions: intermediate, straighter, more geometric shapes — deliberately playing against the curves of the bag or wallet. An intentional graphic tension.
