Its story

Powerful. Another facet of the classic vision of Woman.
The gleaming materials, the flamboyant colors, the inspiring pattern... embody the energy of women in this exhilarating piece.

When I made “Un si beau jour”, I was immediately inspired to create the opposite of this often dichotomous view of Woman, and the colors of the popular character Wonder Woman came to mind.
Immediately, a piece of coated denim from the dormant stocks of Haute Couture, a scrap of fabric from a collaborative project, a glittery babywearing wrap, and the leftover golden satin used for my eldest son's pirate sword were brought into my thoughts.

I don't use clutch bags myself, but this pattern, with its beautiful curves and harmonious proportions, inspired me to explore this path, especially since it allows me to repurpose relatively small fabric scraps while remaining entirely functional.

Near Perfect?

Heavily reduced price (normally 239€) due to a small unfortunate scissor cut right at the finishing stage, resulting in a tiny hole in the lining that was repaired and is barely noticeable, see photo.

Common questions

"I’m afraid someone else will buy it while I’m hesitating"

Each piece is unique.
I can send more photos or offer a short reservation option to give you time to decide.

Are your products authentic?

All my creations are numbered and come with an identity card that includes the type, model, version, number, detailed materials list, and care instructions.
I'd been working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, but I finally decided against it (for a host of reasons I might write an article about someday).

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.
