"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”, 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 “trendy”. 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€).

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.
