Its story

This piece breathes spring with its zesty colors and floral pattern. I wanted something sparkling and cheerful, round and juicy, to evoke both the sweetness of cherries and the exoticism of citrus fruits.

Like many artists, I have my favorite suppliers, and Anne from Serial BagMakers is at the top of my list. It seems to be mutual because she recently approached me to say that she had created a pattern in my name! <3
Once again, she asked me to translate the instructions and requested that I create a version that represents me.

A few months ago, I found a second-hand piece of upholstery fabric, a second-hand leather jacket, and shimmering red linen cushion covers on a whim. I immediately knew they were meant to go together, and they had been waiting for me to find the perfect project for them. When Anne contacted me, I instantly knew I had found their “destiny”.

That's how this cute and fresh little bag was born, which is sure to make you smile, as well as the people around you!

Common questions

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).

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

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

Do I need to register to make purchases on the online store?

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.
