“Oiseau Suédois”  CO-020

A flap clutch sewn in caramel leather, white damask, and vintage beige and gray patterned fabric, lined with taupe canvas.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Whimsy Romantic. The purity of materials, the sobriety of colors... add charm to this practical and chic small clutch.

Its story

This piece was crafted using an insert taken from the remnants of the cushions in my eldest son's bedroom when he was little, beautiful certified organic cotton satin, and a piece of lamb leather.

I don't use clutch bags myself, but this pattern with its harmonious proportions and beautiful curves inspired me to explore this path, especially since it allows me to repurpose relatively small fabric scraps while remaining entirely functional.

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.
