“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.

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.
