Its story
With “Périple,” no adventure will stand in your way!
This backpack model, though classic in its construction, offers you organized storage and an immense volume of space.
The combination of the Madras fabric and the upcycled turquoise leather from a thrifted jacket creates a fresh, dynamic, and refined result.
I thrifted this fabric as a memento of my trip to Guadeloupe in 2005.
I loved its vibrant and varied colors, its ancestral pattern, and its textured weave, evoking the sun, warmth, smiles, music, exotic fruits, and the beach...
I held onto it for a long time before deciding what to make with it, as I didn’t want to make a mistake.
After making a superhero cape for my eldest, I knew I wanted to explore other facets of its personality through a mini collection that I called “Madras”.
A collection in which I wanted to explore the different interpretations I could bring to this fabric. I therefore chose very different patterns to push this concept as far as possible, while expanding my own comfort zone.
Pair it with any other in this collection.
