"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.

Common questions

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

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.
