Its story

Amanda, a babywearing friend, had a deep passion for the color purple. She was also a huge fan of those birds from Woven Bliss.
Shortly after she left us, I received an end of a roll of purple neoprene whose softness moved me. I had planned a charity sale for her children using my current stock.

Instead, I decided to create three coordinated pieces dedicated to her memory, original pieces just like her.

One of them had to be this shoulder bag with innovative shapes, reminiscent of the famous chocolate bar that lent it its name.

A puzzle-like pattern, almost magical in its assembly, resulting in a design that's both striking and practical.

The second piece was the “Nasique” Mini Backpack.
The third was a wallet, the “En Ville” that I love so much, which I directly sent to her mother as a keepsake.

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.
