Its story

Summer followed spring! A fun and elegant piece that combines pop energy with softness, and is an ode to renewal. An original and versatile frame backpack.

I stumbled upon this fabric by chance while thrifting for pants for my youngest son (we are second-hand enthusiasts). Digging through a pile, I discovered this huge coupon of synthetic fabric (probably curtain fabric) with a pattern and colors that drew me in despite myself. I grabbed it, and fate revealed itself when at my next stop, I found four exhibition coupons of synthetic leather in perfectly harmonized shades (cream, pink, orange, and apricot)...
I had my color scheme, and I immediately envisioned creating a mini-collection around this fabric. Its name eluded me for a long time until I asked you, my “fans” (a lofty word) on social media, and when the word “Éclosion” was suggested, I immediately knew it was the right one.

This backpack pattern has been in my stack for almost 2 years because of its elegant and innovative shape, as well as its ability to be worn in 3 different ways.
You can't help but love the numerous pockets, the large opening and capacity, the clever carrying system that allows for three different and comfortable modes, the stylish side fastenings, and the simultaneously clean and modern lines.

Also, see the other two bags in the mini “Éclosion” Collection: the handbag and the hybrid bag.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (normally 522€) due to a small error on the front patch pocket: the bottom is not sewn. It is invisible and does not prevent its use; it simply does not meet the level of finishing I usually offer.

How can I track my order?

You will receive an email upon shipment containing the tracking number and a link. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have questions.

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.

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).

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.
