“Liens”  CO-122

A handbag made of black and white babywearing fabric with a geometric pattern, caramel leather, and red poplin.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love “Liens” is a micro-collection of two pieces, like a metaphor for the relationships we weave with our loved ones. Passerelle is one of these two pieces, and it is directed towards those who feel more “feminine”.

Its story

For Valentine's Day, I didn't want to go for the obvious hearts and over-the-top red, but rather evoke enduring bonds using sustainable natural materials rich in history.
I still wanted to maintain a certain duality, a contrast, as couples are rarely straightforward and peaceful unions.

So, I chose two different designs, one more “masculine” and the other more “feminine”.
The textures and shades of a caramel second-hand leather jacket and a black and white bamboo babywearing wrap, both chosen on a whim, emerged as the ideal choice.
A couple of bags for a couple of souls.

“Passerelle” is one of these two pieces and is directed towards those who feel more “feminine”.
It's a model with strong yet understated lines, featuring its iconic handle, trapezoidal format, metal chain, and a dragonfly decoration filled with poetry and lightness.

Perfect for daily use as well as for an elegant evening.

Common questions

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends and public holidays). The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).

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.

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.
