"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love Resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba. Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. Compact yet roomy crossbody bag.

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.

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.

Common questions

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."
This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.
How do you ship?
Delivery of your order is an essential part of my customer service. I strive to provide you with a reliable, fast, and convenient delivery experience, so you can quickly enjoy your purchases.

Once your order is placed, I ensure that your items are carefully packaged and prepared for shipping. I choose the most suitable packaging options to protect your products during transportation.

Each bag is protected by its custom-made satin drawstring pouch, made from 100% organic cotton satin or 100% linen fabric, and closed with a 100% organic cotton cord, that I custom-make specifically for each bag.
Wallets and other small items are wrapped in tissue paper, either new (locally and sustainably produced) or recycled depending on their size.

I offer free shipping to France. For all other destinations, I aim to maintain competitive and transparent shipping costs. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight, size of your package, and the destination to provide you with the fairest pricing possible.
