“Perpétuelle” N° CO-129

A shoulder bag made with off-white, raspberry, orange, and coral babywearing fabric, featuring a poetic pattern of hot air balloons and dancers, and plum leather.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory This piece is laden with emotions, as it speaks of lost friendship and unfinished dreams. Its shape reminds me of a hug, the one I wish I could give to my friend who left us too soon. Its colors are among her favorites, and she loved the poetic and dreamlike motif of the flap's fabric. I wanted/needed to pay tribute to her.

Its story

This piece is laden with emotions, as it speaks of lost friendship and unfinished dreams. Its shape reminds me of a hug, the one I wish I could give to my friend who left us too soon. Its colors are among her favorites, and she loved the poetic and dreamlike motif of the flap's fabric. I wanted/needed to pay tribute to her.

I had found the leather in the dormant stocks of the luxury industry for a custom-made order for which it was not ultimately chosen in favor of others selected on the same day, so it had been waiting for its opportunity since then. Given the richness of its color and texture, soft and smooth, I knew it would be exceptional. I assembled the scraps to reach the necessary size.
For the lining, the handle, and the strap, I took out extremely soft pure linen cushion covers whose color matched perfectly with the rest.

I knew that with this pattern that had caught my eye several months earlier, I had an alliance that would do her honor. I genuinely think she would have liked this bag.

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

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.
