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.
