“Royal”  CO-193

A bucket bag made from babywearing wrap fabric featuring yellow thistles on a purple background with yellow lamb leather.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A regal festive vibe for this luminous and sophisticated bag... Visually and tactilely rich materials, a spacious and well-organized volume.

Its story

Champagne! The perfect name for this bag, evoking both its generous volume and the festive moments promised by its colors. The purple of royalty, the yellow of candle flames, the gold of jewelry…
Whether you need it for a meeting (it fits a notebook, a tablet, or even a laptop if left unzipped) or a romantic weekend getaway (just pack your essentials and a change of clothes), it will become your best ally!

More and more, I love transforming the “Thistle” pattern from Mokosh Wraps (a Russian baby wrap brand for which I’m an ambassador in France) to prove that, by pushing the boundaries, one can transcend kitsch and return to chic.
I had already done it with the Nostalgie “Salamandre” shoulder bag and more recently with a bag just for myself (visible on my social media). Now, I’m doubling down with this large bucket bag. Initially, the pattern didn’t inspire me much—I found it too simple.
That was before I reminded myself that constraint breeds creativity, and this was precisely an opportunity to approach this shape differently from other bagmakers. Especially since this type of form is perfect for showcasing a fabric without its design being “eaten up” by the bag’s geometry.

It took me a while to find THE perfect yellow leather. Ironically, it arrived by chance in a batch of hides just when I had given up looking. That’s when I pulled out this baby wrap fabric and some poplin scraps I had bought from a seamstress, ordered premium hardware from my favorite supplier, and got to work!

The result: a large bag that is chic, bold, and practical, with plenty of storage and ample space.

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.

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."

This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.

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.
