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.

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.

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

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.
