"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry “Alchimie”, a combination of beautiful midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, has emerged from my workshop to brighten your days and evenings. The Zip-Zip is a small, compact, and practical coin purse, ready to slip into your bag and keep your change or cards.

Its story

With the remnants from the “Mosaic” Shoulder Bag created in a mystery sewing project, I sewed this Zip-Zip, a small, compact, and practical coin purse, ready to slip into your bag and hold your change or cards. It's a simple yet effective design with two zippered pockets and a small wrist strap.

“Alchimie” is the combination of a beautiful midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, crafted in my workshop to brighten both your days and evenings.
