“Groovy, baby!” N° CO-077
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Whimsy A nod to the 70s with this very vibrant piece full of memories for a small wallet that focuses on the essentials.
Its story
My mother had this knitted and rayon dress with improbable patterns and colors that she kept in a box since the 70s, and I had fantasized about it for a long time, but I never got to wear it (materials, size, era...).
So I decided to make a cushion out of it for her, and I had some scraps left with which I wanted to create this compact and practical little wallet. Paired with a vibrant lambskin leather scrap and a golden half-moon clasp, you get an accessory that combines chic, fun, and functionality.
