"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A piece that celebrates love thanks to the reminiscent pattern of the molecular structure of oxytocin from the babywearing wrap used. Its clean and geometric lines, proportions, and storage make this bag your daily ally.

Its story

For this piece, I chose a babywearing wrap with a pattern reminiscent of the molecular structure of oxytocin, the love hormone.
It is accompanied by scraps of lamb leather and Haute Couture fabric. Gunmetal-colored hardware completes this ensemble.

A genuine crush for this bag model, named “Nostalgie”, to the point that I made several versions, which rarely happens. Its proportions and lines immediately won me over.
From now on, I will only make this model as a custom-made commission.

Pair it with the “Embarq'Tout” XL Companion.

Near Perfect?

Slightly reduced price (normal price 620€) because not all stitches are absolutely perfect and the leather has a tiny original scratch on the back side.

Common questions

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

"Will this style really suit me?"

If a piece draws you in, it already resonates with you.
We are never one-dimensional: it might reveal a side of your personality still waiting to shine.

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.

Can I place an order by phone?
