ā€œArc-en-ciel dans l'ombreā€ N° CO-065

A shoulder bag made from black and rainbow geometric-patterned babywearing scarf and black cork, with a bright rainbow swirl interior.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A work around the concept of hope and depression: colorful fragments of life that pierce the darkness of melancholy. A practical and elegant shoulder bag.

Its story

The ā€œRainbow in the Shadowsā€ duo is the result of work on the concept of hope and depression: the bursts of color on a black background echo the colorful fragments of life that sometimes pierce the darkness of melancholy.

I had a great love for this pattern, which is both modern and classic, very dressed up or more relaxed depending on the materials used, but always practical with its large storage capacity. So convinced that I made two copies of it.
The result of this version combines the best of both worlds: the sobriety of black cork and the originality of its geometric pattern in rainbow colors that lift the spirits. We appreciate the small details that make a difference: two-tone/two-material handles, multicolored stitching, and luxury rainbow-colored hardware.

To be paired with the Zip Around Wallet ā€œEn Villeā€.

Why are there "Near-Perfect" items and what are they?

As part of my sustainable view of the modern luxury fashion, creating as little waste as possible is central. You can learn more about this on my Soulful Values page.

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 ā€œsecondsā€ 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.
