"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.

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

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.

Are payments secure?
Payment security is an absolute priority on my website. I understand the importance of trust in online transactions, which is why I make every effort to provide you with a secure and reliable payment environment.
Payment is secured by SnipCart, a reputable payment service provider, an expert in online transaction security. This partner uses advanced security protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of payment data. I do not store your credit card details or other sensitive information on my system, adding an extra layer of protection.

If you have any concerns or additional questions regarding the security of payments on my site, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to provide you with the necessary answers and ensure you have a stress-free online shopping experience.

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

How can I track my order?
You will receive an email upon shipment containing the tracking number and a link. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have questions.
