"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory A cute coin purse as an ode to the sun and the energy of life.
Its story
I sewed this Zip-Zip, a small, compact, and practical coin purse, ready to slip into your bag and keep your change or cards. It's a simple yet effective design with two zippered pockets and a small wrist strap.
I thrifted this fabric as a memento of my trip to Guadeloupe in 2005.
I loved its vibrant and varied colors, its ancestral pattern, and its textured weave, evoking the sun, warmth, smiles, music, exotic fruits, and the beach...
I held onto it for a long time before deciding what to make with it, as I didn’t want to make a mistake.
After making a superhero cape for my eldest, I knew I wanted to explore other facets of its personality through a mini collection that I called “Madras”.
A collection in which I wanted to explore the different interpretations I could bring to this fabric. I therefore chose very different patterns to push this concept as far as possible, while expanding my own comfort zone.
Pair it with any other in this collection.
