“Liens”  CO-123

A messenger bag made from a black and white geometric pattern babywearing wrap, caramel leather, and red poplin.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love “Liens” is a micro-collection of two pieces, like a metaphor for the relationships we weave with our loved ones. Bravoure is one of these two pieces, directed towards those who identify as more “masculine.'

Its story

For Valentine's Day, I didn't want to go for the obvious hearts and excessive red, but rather evoke enduring bonds, using sustainable natural materials steeped in history.
I still wanted to maintain a certain duality, a contrast, as couples are rarely straightforward and serene unions.

So I chose two different models, one more “masculine” and the other more “feminine”.
And the textures and hues of a caramel upcycled leather jacket and a black and white bamboo babywearing wrap, bought on a whim, became evident.
A pair of bags for a pair of souls.

Bravoure is one of these two pieces, directed towards those who identify as more “masculine”.
A functional and unpretentious messenger bag, in a vertical format, accompanied by a comfortable and “sportswear chic” strap and adorned with a military-style “dog tags” decoration, which also inspired the bag's shape.

Perfect for the city and strolls, to carry the essentials (and a little more).

See “Passerelle”, the other half of this pair of pieces.

Common questions

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

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.
