Craftsmanship & Expertise

In my workshop in the Loire, I practice my craft the way I live: with an obsession for doing things right.

My drive: high standards

I was diagnosed neurodivergent later in life, and for a long time I struggled with my own high standards and my need to fully master the subjects I'm passionate about... not anymore.

I've finally understood that these are valuable qualities for carrying my projects through.

Like a lot of neurospicy people, I'm self-taught. I don't hold official qualifications in any of the trades I've nonetheless been recognized as an expert in.

I train myself, I practice a lot, I read constantly, I test things, I get it wrong, I start again — and I keep improving, fast and non-stop.

Self-employed since 2004, I'm well versed in entrepreneurship and running projects from A to Z, and I know how to surround myself with reliable partners for the things I don't master myself.

A workshop, machines, a steady hand

Everything is made in my workshop in the Loire, in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert.
I choose each tool based on the job at hand: sewing machines (one professional, one industrial), a serger, a hydraulic press, an iron press, a motorized skiver, a laser cutter...

The newest addition (spring 2026), it's opened up new territory: ultra-precise repetitive cuts (appliqués, eyelets, small pieces), tracing and marquetry, logos engraved straight into the leather instead of added metal, and soon, personalization on certain pieces.

My expertise: an eye for detail

You can see it in the careful selection of my materials, both aesthetic and technical (interfacings, stabilizers, foams, hardware...), and of my partners.

You can see it too in how much I love learning new techniques, discovering new materials, and stepping outside my creative comfort zone...

And above all, you can see it in how much care I put into every cut, every stitch, executed with precision.

Basically, every piece that leaves my workshop goes through that same standard:

Doing things right, even when no one can tell.

Common questions

Where/How are they made?

I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a motorized skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as “seconds” from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.

What materials do you use to make my pieces?

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc “leather”)… No faux leather, ever.
  • 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.
