"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Absolutely retro and therefore incredibly ā€œtrendyā€, this Mary Poppins bag skillfully combines modern materials with simple and nostalgic lines while adding a touch of light to this gloomy autumn.

Its story

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

I made two versions, and this one is the large size, giving me the opportunity to use this upcycled synthetic leather with the sunny yellow Python pattern I impulsively acquired.
It bravely combines the modernity of materials with the simple and retro lines of the bag while bringing a bit of sunshine to this gray autumn.

Near Perfect?

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, two tiny snags (repaired) at the bottom, hidden by the false bottom, see the last photo), so it is offered at a slightly reduced price (292€ instead of 365€).

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.
