“Vive la France !”  CO-165

A double zippered pouch sewn from several babywearing wrap scraps (blue and red) and white faux leather.

"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.

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.
