“Tigre Sylvestre”  CO-171

A shoulder bag made from a fabric with the pattern and texture of a forest green tiger fur paired with beige suede-like faux leather, and a lining composed of a high-fashion viscose with very small green and white gingham checks and a cream mottled linen sheet.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature When animal motif meets sophistication... sober and timeless colors, a wild yet discreet pattern thanks to tone-on-tone, a contrast of textures, ample space, and a sleek shape.

Its story

Animal prints are never simple; they can quickly become kitschy. But that's not necessarily a problem for me; I enjoy pushing those boundaries. Here, there was no need to worry. These scraps of high-fashion fabric with a raised tonal tiger fur motif play perfectly with those clichés and blend wonderfully with the synthetic suede with a velvety touch and the high-fashion viscose with a slightly shiny mini gingham pattern.

I acquired these different materials from a local couturier, unsure exactly how to work with them as I'm not accustomed to these kinds of patterns, but convinced of the need to expand my comfort zone. Plus, I felt like I was lacking greens in my stock...
Hil's Handmade's 33 West pattern was in need of testers, and I liked its shape and volumes, which were moreover compatible with my materials... It seemed like a great opportunity to stand out from the versions already made by my fellow testers.

In the end, the result lives up to my vision: a pretty and practical bag that can be chic or more casual depending on your outfit, making it an ideal companion.

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).

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.
