“Boys & Girls” N° CO-189
"Cogitations" Range / Collection Feminities An incredible piece of modernity and sophistication, with timeless shapes and resolutely contemporary colors. A chic and practical shoulder bag.
Its story
“Boys & Girls” doesn’t go unnoticed, thanks to both its shape and its materials. It plays with traditional gender codes by blending them while also highlighting their contrasts: a cool tone and a warm one, smooth leather and a more textured one, silky fibers and rougher ones… a whole spectrum of nuances between the extremes.
A bold way to express your uniqueness without compromising on practicality!
It took me six months to finally start making this bag—I found it quite intimidating. The pattern was inspiring, and I wanted to approach it differently than my fellow artisans had. But I was terrified of messing it up, and there was no way to replace the materials if I did… Its technical complexity was both exciting and daunting.
Of course, I eventually took the plunge, and once I started, I couldn’t stop until it was finished! I definitely had a few stressful moments, and those few imperfect stitches under the handle still bother me, but I learned so much. This is the most ambitious piece I’ve had the chance to create since launching my business.
In fact, I might make another one or two as I find this design truly exhilarating.
Its two large panels, its meticulously shaped handle, its enveloping, rounded gusset… it’s a statement piece that leaves no one indifferent.
