Its story

Art Deco-inspired works are often seen as symbols of modernity, progress, and sophistication, and this bag is no exception. It's a timeless and ultra-chic piece that plays with retro and modern codes, mixing traditional materials (leather, merino, silk) with more technical ones, clean lines, and complex patterns reminiscent of the early 20th century.
You'll enjoy caressing the soft and shiny wrap and admiring the texture of the full-grain leather.

I fell in love with this satin wrap, which I had searched for a long time without much hope because it was produced in very limited quantities. When the opportunity arose to acquire one, I didn't hesitate because I already knew it would make a beautiful “Nostalgie”.
The leather comes from a colleague's leatherworking workshop who no longer had use for the scraps of the leather it originated from.

I have a special affection for this bag model, its proportions and lines immediately won me over, to the point that I've made several versions, which rarely happens.
This one is actually the latest in pure creation (but this model remains available for custom-made commissions).

Pair it with the “En route!” Wallet.

Common questions

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."

This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.

"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.

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.
