Its story

A joyful and delightfully vintage version with its fabric featuring a floral pattern and vivid colors.

I like to give a chance to unloved fabrics, and this beautiful fabric that was in the ā€œdefectā€ pile didn't deserve to be forgotten. Paired with a piece of upholstery fabric with an embossed texture, it creates a version that is both playful and stylish.

I was captivated by this backpack model and its original and elegant shape that remains very practical.

Match it with the ā€œTout en finesseā€ Trifold Wallet for a coordinated look.

Near Perfect?

Common questions

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio CrƩatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio CrƩatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio CrƩatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

Each piece is unique.

What are the payment methods and conditions?

Payment can be made in several ways:

  • Right away on the website, by credit card or PayPal: your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • In 4 installments with PayPal (on the website, subject to acceptance by PayPal): at no additional cost to you, and your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • Deferred payment by bank transfer (with direct contact according to your preferences): your order will only be shipped upon receipt of the full payment.
What is the protective pouch included with the bags?

Every bag I create comes with a bespoke protective pouch, made by hand in my studio.

This isn't throwaway packaging ā€” it's a permanent accessory, meant to be used every day to store your bag when you're not using it, protect it from scratches and dust, or keep it safe when travelling.

It's made in organic cotton satin, sewn to the exact dimensions of your piece, with an organic cotton drawstring to close it. It's branded Marie Alhomme.

For wallets, coin purses, and smaller accessories, I wrap the piece in tissue paper produced locally and sustainably (Papeteries de MontsƩgur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

Charlotteā€™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.
