Its story

This compact yet roomy crossbody bag is both stylish and practical, with its adjustable strap, made directly from the coat belt, as well as multiple pockets. The connectors are also taken directly from the shoulder buttonned decorative elements, for a bit of additional history.
Soft colors and materials, to accompany you in style during high-powered meetings or shopping trips.

“Mille Toffees” is a collection created especially for the exhibition at the artistic space of CIEL (at Sivalor), focused on the upcycling of what is often considered “waste.”
Remaining true to my creative approach inspired by textile upcycling and the sublimation of memories, I crafted this “Mille Toffees” collection from a thrifted goat leather trench coat that seemed to have lived a beautiful life and deserved a second one. I paired it with cotton fabric scraps entrusted by a client for her custom order.

This collection speaks of resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba.
Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. Its soft and warm tones, variety of shapes, will elegantly accompany you in your daily life.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

Common questions

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.

Find out more about this on the Soulful Values page.

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends and public holidays). 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).

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.
