“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.

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 motorized 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.

Find out more about this on the Soulful Values page.

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).

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

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.
