ā€œMadrasā€ N° CO-185

A hybrid clutch wallet bag made of purple leather and multicolored madras fabric.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory ā€œTout-en-1ā€ is a small, compact hybrid clutch wallet that is practical and stylish. A tribute to the sun and the energy of life.

Its story

ā€œTout-en-1,ā€ where chic meets functionality. Stay organized and elegant!

I love versatile designs that combine multiple uses. This hybrid clutch, which combines a bag (worn at the hip, shoulder, or crossbody) with a fully integrated wallet, allows you to carry all your documents and small items in a stylish and practical way. It can also be slipped into any bag as is.

I picked up this fabric in memory of my trip to Guadeloupe in 2005.
I loved its vibrant and varied colors, its ancestral pattern, and its textured weave that evoke the sun, warmth, smiles, music, exotic fruits, and the beach...

I kept it for a long time before deciding what to do with it, as I didn’t want to make a mistake.
After making a superhero cape for my eldest, I knew I wanted to explore other facets of its personality through a mini collection I called ā€œMadrasā€.

A collection in which I wanted to explore the different interpretations I could bring to this fabric. I therefore chose very different patterns to push this concept as far as possible while broadening my own comfort zone.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc ā€œleatherā€)… No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
  • Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow… Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.

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.
