"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory A subtle tribute to France, beyond any partisan approach. A pouch that will accompany you everywhere, either in your bag or directly in your hand.

Its story

When I found this pattern, I initially thought of playing with the tricolor theme but decided to hold off and first test it in a “natural” version released in May 2024 (“Appel de la Forêt”).

This confirmed that I love this model, surprising with its functional but discreet volumes, which will accompany you in your hand or in your bag.

After the “Le Lys” Shoulder Bag to match it with, I took great pleasure in playing again with the blue-white-red assembly from babywearing wrap scraps from my adventures with my eldest, finding a super stylish lining, and adding small tricolor details... all intended as a subtle tribute to the colors of France, beyond any partisan approach.

Common questions

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.

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.

Are your products authentic?

All my creations are numbered and come with an identity card that includes the type, model, version, number, detailed materials list, and care instructions.
I'd been working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, but I finally decided against it (for a host of reasons I might write an article about someday).

What are the payment methods and conditions?

Payment can be made in several ways:

  • Right away on the website, by credit card or PayPal: your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • In 4 installments with PayPal (on the website, subject to acceptance by PayPal) or with Alma (you’ll need to contact me first so that I can provide you with a dedicated link): both are offered at no additional cost to you, and your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • Deferred payment by bank transfer (with direct contact according to your preferences): your order will only be shipped upon receipt of the full payment.

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.
