"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A bag with innovative shapes while remaining practical. A piece in neutral tones that goes with any outfit.

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.

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.
