"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.

Common questions

How long does it take for a custom piece?

The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends and public holidays). The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).

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.
