"Cogitations" Range / Collection Imaginary “Rainbows & Glitter” is the essence of the Unicorn, distilled to its simplest expression. A chic and fun nod to all the wonderful creatures we are.

Its story

“Rainbows & Glitter” is the essence of the Unicorn, distilled to its simplest expression.

For the past year, I've been increasingly exploring color codes that are very different from my original aesthetic. Glitter, white, and rainbows are definitely part of that.

However, I was “called” by this synthetic fur (yikes!), and I almost immediately had a vision of what I was going to do with it.
The perfect opportunity to use these scraps of glittery faux leather acquired instinctively from a seamstress; and also to make a backpack, which hadn't happened in a while.

Because I sketched and resketched, what could have had a very figurative rendering or an ultra-kitsch style became what seems to me to be the quintessential essence of the unicorn concept.
The result is a large backpack with clean lines and filled with small details: the horn handle, the tassel flap, the rainbow thread, the “two-tone” straps...

A chic and fun nod to all the wonderful creatures we are.

Near Perfect?

A few minor aesthetic flaws (some stitching on the back not as straight as I would have liked, a slight pen mark on the side, and light creases on the vinyl on the front and back, related to the “upcycled” origin of the materials) allow me to offer it at a heavily reduced price (original price €393).

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.
