“Été indien”  CO-094

A handbag made of wrap fabric with a giant chevron pattern in autumn tones (pink, brown, orange, yellow, and white).

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Heritage Absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”, this Mary Poppins bag fully embraces the vintage theme with its retro-patterned wrap fabric in autumnal colors.

Its story

This Mary Poppins-style bag, with its metal frames, is absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”. It's from a pattern test for which I was also the official translator.

I made two versions, and this one is the smaller size, for which I wanted to fully embrace the vintage theme with this retro-patterned wrap fabric in autumnal colors, combined with a soft and eye-pleasing powdery pink interior with natural materials.

Prefer the larger version of “Supercalifragili”?

Like most test samples of a pattern, this bag has very minor flaws (a slightly visible thread of a different color on the inside edges, see the last photo), so it is offered at a slightly reduced price (instead of €367).

Where/How are they made?

I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a motorized skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as “seconds” from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.

Find out more about this on the Soulful Values page.

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

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.
