“Chocolat, Pralines, Citron” N° CO-046
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature 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
First, I used Krafttex, a washable paper with a leather-like appearance, in its unwashed version (less textured and especially more rigid) as a stabilizer inside the zip coin and card holders. Then, I applied it on the outside once washed/dried/ironed several times for its texture that resembles leather but without using plastic.
This color matched perfectly with this babywearing fabric coupon with a romantic pattern and a mottled, irregular texture. I combined it with a bright yellow poplin and antique bronze hardware for a joyful, poetic, and sophisticated combination.
I had a huge crush on this pattern, both modern and classic, very dressy or more relaxed depending on the materials used, but always practical with its large storage capacities. So convinced that I made two copies, and after making a darker version, “Arc-en-ciel dans l'ombre”, I wanted to try a more joyful version.
Perfect for meetings or strolls!

Near Perfect?
Reduced price (normally 598€) because it's the first time I've made this pattern and as a result, some of the finishes are not perfect (mainly regarding the attachments of the handles, not entirely straight).
