"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory A subtle tribute to France, transcending any partisan approach. An original and elegant pattern, combining modernity and functionality.

Its story

I had been captivated by this original pattern for some time, but I was waiting for inspiration... So when an international competition came up to represent a country of your choice, I said, “Banco!”

I took great pleasure in playing with the assembly of blue-white-red from my babywearing wrap scraps from my adventures with my eldest, finding a super stylish lining, and adding its many small tricolor details... all of which are intended to be a subtle tribute to France, beyond any partisan approach.

It was since completed by the matching “Double Zip” pouch.

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.
