“Chic & Choc” N° CO-181

A zippered pouch sewn with black faux leather, black and white sequined fabric, and gray denim.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Whimsy Play of lights and a concentration of contrasts come together in this small pouch, compact yet spacious.

Its story

This cute little clutch is both compact and spacious.
Playing with light between sparkling sequins, satin-like faux leather, metallic leather, and ultra-matte denim... a concentration of contrasts in an ultra chic and playful small format.

A piece of High Fashion fabric bought from a local couturier, a special garment faux leather scrap salvaged 2 years ago, and a dormant stock of High Fashion denim revived over 2 years ago... so different and therefore absolutely destined to be paired.
I had already planned a bag with this combination but I couldn't resist the temptation to test it on a smaller format. Now I am even more excited to make said bag!

“Chic & Choc” is one of the 5 pieces from the “Poisson d'Avril” (April's Fool) collection, born from an impulse when Shamballa Bags released this adorable pouch pattern that inspired me a lot. In search of whimsy, I got sucked in and immediately imagined the most incredible combinations of materials and colors:
✹ mirror leather, metallic bouclĂ©, faux leather, sequins, high-couture denim, synthetic fur, sequined tulle, cork on cotton, satin, linen

🎹 gold, rainbow, silver, copper, turquoise, sage, fuchsia


đŸ€© A feast for the eyes and the senses!

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.
