“Red Obsession” N° CO-187

A zipped card-and-coin wallet made from red leather and a red leather printed with white houndstooth, with a red Sonia Rykiel branded lining.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love Glamour and sophistication call you to a romantic rendezvous with yourself. A true favorite for this practical and elegant wallet design.

Its story

Ay, ay, ay, caramba! Passion red, captivating red, a red that awakens and comforts... two exceptional lamb leathers blend seamlessly with silk, creating a sensory experience that truly resonates.

I fell head over heels for this practical wallet design, named “City Life,” whether in its regular or mini version, so much so that I’ve made several copies—including one for myself, which is rare.

Pair it with the “Kisses of Paris” Shoulder Bag, featuring the same elegant curve.
