“Vanille Melba”  CO-070

A shoulder bag made from babywearing wrap with a gradient from orange-yellow to pink, with a pointillist star pattern, and white synthetic leather.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A bright and intricate piece that symbolizes femininity: fresh, joyful, chic, sophisticated, and strong. A functional and emotional shoulder bag.

Its story

A bright and intricate piece that symbolizes the duality of femininity.
On one side, the closeness of babywearing through the use of a ring sling, evoked by the draping of the fabric that envelops the bag's body. On the other, the often society-imposed need to return to professional activity, represented by the highly functional format with a central compartment that is shallow but large enough to carry documents or a laptop.

This pattern was a natural choice for me, given my years of carrying my two children (I still carry my 3.5-year-old, although it's becoming increasingly sporadic).
I also wanted to step out of my aesthetic comfort zone by working with colors that I don't usually prefer. I like orange but not so much the pink of the babywearing wrap, and I've always been “afraid” of white.

The result is both fresh, joyful, chic, sophisticated, and strong... like women.

Can be paired with the Mini Wallet with Zip “En Ville”.

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.
