Its story

Always ready to step in!
As a child, I adored Dr. Quinn—an independent, educated woman, generous yet conflicted. That’s why I’ve explored the “doctor bag” frame style several times (Été Indien,Sssspectaculaire,Éclosion (1),Éclosion (2),Éclosion (3)), often in colorful versions.

This time, though, I wanted something chic yet fun, classic yet bold. At a time when my spirits were low, its small size and playful format won me over.

I had bought these small upholstery scraps and leather pieces from fellow artisans during their studio clear-outs, and they naturally came to mind when I was looking for the right way to dress this little bag.

A “few” hours of tracing, cutting, assembling, and finishing later... the result matched the idea I had in mind, and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
How about you? :)
