Features

The Cubo' is a compact coin purse, made to last and to look like you.
Small piece, great attention: the finishing is the same as on the most elaborate creations from the studio.

Dimensions : 10x10x3.5cm.

It closes with a press stud.

Available finishes

  • Signature: organic and fun, in free shapes inspired by my visual identity. Perfect for small fabric scraps;
  • Plénitude: generous, rounded patches for a soft and elegant result;
  • Contradictions: straighter, geometric shapes that deliberately play against the rounded angles of the coin purse.

Customization options

  • Exterior: choose from 3 options depending on the size of your fabric scrap, paired with a leather from my studio;
  • Hardware: metal press stud in nickel color (other colors at extra cost);
  • Thread: palette of ~10 standard colors.

Materials

Even a small piece of sentimental fabric or leather can be enough.
If you don't have a material to transform, I have carefully selected scraps and hides available in my stock.

The technical elements (interfacing, stabilizers...) are also chosen to withstand daily use.

The leather I use to complete these pieces comes from my studio's stock at the time. I don't track colors over time, so I can't guarantee finding the exact same color later. I don't buy new leather for the Essentials line, except on your specific request, in which case an extra cost applies.

The process

Even though the pattern is fixed, the process is fully guided: we exchange about your materials, your color preferences, and your constraints before the magic happens.

Price, excluding your fabric scrap

  • from 75€;
  • + 2€ for a different press stud color (rainbow, matte black, copper, gold, brass).

Fabric scrap size

  • 10x25cm;
  • or several small pieces for the “Signature” finish (to be discussed together).

Common questions

What are 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.
Is it made to order or in stock?

Always made to order — there's no stock. Each piece is crafted after your order, in the materials you choose (yours or mine). The usual lead time is 4 to 6 weeks in total depending on the complexity of the design.

Charlotte’s baby wrap

After ordering a bag from stock, Charlotte realized it would be too small. I offered to make her a custom, larger version, and she sent me her baby wrap to transform.

Don't feel like waiting?

Even an Essential involves a bit of back-and-forth and patience. If you'd rather leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that's already made, I also have a shop full of creations ready to go.
