"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A piece with a different ambiance, blending exoticism and elegance. A clever design with its ample volume and concealed “anti-theft” back opening.

Its story

Rustling leaves, animal cries, humidity, scents... we are immersed in the jungle.
A piece with a different ambiance, blending exoticism and elegance.

I thrifted this scarf on a whim and was waiting for the opportunity to really showcase it.
So when I found this cleverly designed pattern with its ample volume, concealed “anti-theft” back opening, and large front panel, I knew it would be the one to enhance it.

I paired it with the last pieces of a beautiful soaked lamb leather from a revalorized skirt, to play with material contrasts and thus create a balanced piece.

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.

Common questions

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif 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 Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif 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.
