Its story

An ode to rebirth, to remind us that even after the coldest winters, life always finds a way to be reborn and flourish. The soft colors of this piece suggest tender grass and freshly blooming trees.

I painted this silk scarf in my younger years, and it regularly found its place around my mother's neck for the 30 years that followed. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me for transformation.
A bag, a wallet, and this pouch came out of it and were put up for sale. I'm keeping the last scraps for myself, for a personal project I haven't determined yet.

Although I don't personally use pouches or handbags, this pattern, with its graceful curves and harmonious proportions, inspired me to explore this path. Moreover, it's a format that allows for the reuse of fairly small scraps while remaining entirely functional.

Common questions

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.

Why are there "Near-Perfect" items and what are they?

As part of my sustainable view of the modern luxury fashion, creating as little waste as possible is central. You can learn more about this on my Soulful Values page.

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.
