"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory Blending rustic and contemporary, masculine and feminine. A hands-on demonstration with this very chic and versatile wallet-clutch.

Its story

When I designed and created the “Old Country” hybrid bag, I had planned to make a matching accessory using the offcuts—but I wasn’t sure which pattern to use.
After discovering and making the “Plum-Y Oakie” version of this here wallet-clutch pattern, I realized it was the perfect fit to continue exploring the masculine-feminine, rustic-modern contrast I had begun with that jacket and bag.

So I decided to dive into it with materials that felt far less feminine and polished.
Its interesting shapes and potential for contrast made it a great choice.
I was able to use up most of the leftover leather (I still have a bit), and much of the lining (there’s less of that left), which I first “de-batted”—a laborious but necessary task to take advantage of its fineness.

The soft, supple leather, the rough yet cozy wool, the slippery satin lining... everything came together harmoniously to play up those contrasts.
I also emphasized the structured, geometric pattern by preserving as much alignment as possible, and the matte antique brass luxury hardware provided the finishing touch.

The result: a delightfully unexpected and practical wallet—perfect to slip into your bag or use on its own thanks to the removable wrist strap.

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.

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

What are the delivery timeframes?
All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends). The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).
