"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A piece that doesn't go unnoticed with its enchanting colors reminiscent of the Northern Lights of the Arctic nights. An ultra-chic clutch to carry the essentials.

Its story

I painted this silk scarf in my tender youth, and it regularly adorned my mother's neck for the following 30 years. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me for a transformation.
A slim tie, a wallet, and now this clutch have emerged from it and were put up for sale. I kept the last scraps for myself, for a personal project that I have not yet determined.

I wanted to continue playing with the idea of “knots” that were part of the daily life of neck scarves, as I did with the “Nouds-Velle Vague” clutch, and this pattern naturally came to mind.

Ultra chic and practical with its luxury metal chain, it is perfect to accompany you both during the day and in the evening.

  • Model: Papillon ;
  • Dimensions: 23x15x3cm ;
