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? :)

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

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.

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"
