“Salamandre”  CO-075

A shoulder bag made from blood red and emerald green babywearing wrap with a thistle pattern, red gabardine, emerald green linen, and synthetic material.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A piece that doesn't go unnoticed! It plays with a dynamic of contrasts, both in color and texture. Chromatically, it contrasts blood red, evoking passion, energy, and strength, with emerald green, reminiscent of nature, growth, and harmony. Texture-wise, it contrasts the soft and finely woven jacquard wrap with raw linen on one side, and plush gabardine and smooth synthetic material on the other. With these dualities, the floral motif at the heart of this piece, typically old-fashioned, becomes resolutely modern.

Its story

A piece that doesn't go unnoticed! It plays with a dynamic of contrasts, both in color and texture. Chromatically, it contrasts blood red, evoking passion, energy, and strength, with emerald green, reminiscent of nature, growth, and harmony. Texture-wise, it contrasts the soft and finely woven jacquard wrap with raw linen on one side, and plush gabardine and smooth synthetic material on the other.
With these dualities, the floral motif at the heart of this piece, typically old-fashioned, becomes resolutely modern.

This babywearing wrap is very soft and plush, a true visual and sensory crush acquired on a whim. It is accompanied by a matching gabardine with a velvety texture, rich-textured linen canvas, and an upcycled synthetic material remnant to provide strength to the base of the bag.

I have a special affection for this bag model, with its proportions and lines immediately captivating me to the point that I made several versions, which rarely happens.
This is the last one still available for pure creation. From now on, I will only make this model as a custom-made commission.

It is possible to pair it with the matching “En Ville” Mini Zip Card and Coin Wallet.

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.

Do I need to register to make purchases on the online store?
It's not necessary to have an account to place an order on this website.
Where/How are they made?
I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a manual skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as "seconds" from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.
