“Jaune Coquelicot” N° CO-211
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Luminous, chic and practical! This bag fits every occasion.
Its story
Another successful mystery sewing challenge (organised by Shamballa Bags)!
The exercise involves choosing your materials blind — knowing only the quantities needed, with no idea of their final placement on the bag, which itself remains a complete unknown: size, shape, features, all a surprise.
This time I was truly inspired: I had at least five or six combinations I loved, and choosing was genuinely difficult. In the end, a popular vote convinced me to go with this one — and I have absolutely no regrets.
The mix of textures and colours delivers something chic and fun: the bright yellow leather, smooth, matte and slightly rubbery; the white leather with its marked, glossy texture; the soft, matte black leather; and the gentle wrap fabric with its floral print...
The bag's distinctive shape doesn't compromise its practicality one bit: the size is generous without being bulky, there are three pockets plus an overall zip closure, and it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody.
Previous mystery sewing creations: the Rosée - Kawaï crossbody, the Cheminée - Floraison Automnale shoulder bag, the Échiquier - Perruches handbag, the Podium - Scandinavia shoulder bag and the Mosaïque - Alchimie shoulder bag.

Born from a mystery sewing challenge, this bag has a few subtle cosmetic flaws — the result of not knowing in advance where I was going, and making a few choices I slightly regret.
