Its story

This messenger bag, with its mix of subtle and joyful colors, evokes simplicity, sophistication, joy, and femininity.
Confident, determined, with a light step, you rush through the bustling city to meet friends or attend a professional meeting... once the weekend arrives, you take it out for a walk with the essentials for a leisurely stroll.

I had been eyeing this pattern for a long time, and I had already explored reducing it significantly to create a bag pouch with a tiny scrap.
A little later, when I got my hands on a set of babywearing wrap fabric scraps, all more beautiful than the others and perfect for this kind of assembly... this specific fabric caught my eye, and I immediately knew it would be ideal to complement the scrap of yellow faux leather I had left, creating a piece in time for the upcoming spring.

Since then, I had the opportunity to play with the dimensions again by adapting it to a giant size for a custom order from a customer, a truly enriching experience.

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.
