Its story

Not too long ago, I attended a conference for women entrepreneurs, linked to an all-women business network I belong to, called “Bouge Ta Boîte”.
Numerous inspiring workshops later, when it came time to leave, we were gifted a “My Little Box”, a box filled with products from a partner brand, and mine (as there were different ones) was themed “Icons” and contained a neck scarf that inspired me right away.

I combined it with some very supple white fake leather I’d reclaimed from another maker and a light sage shiny poplin. Its playfulness and softness, along with the symbol it wanted to convey (that of a free, audacious woman) resonated with my aesthetics and I knew I would make some really cool pieces with it.
One of these is this Pouch with its big bow on the front. Flat but of a comfortable size, both stylish and fun, it can follow you all day in a bigger bag or all evening as a standalone hand clutch.
The other is the “Sérénade” Clutch Wallet.

Common questions

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

Where/How are they made?

I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a motorized skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as “seconds” from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.

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.
