"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A bold piece whose generous size and handy pockets make it the perfect everyday companion for all the divas on the go.

Its story

Show-off? Definitely.
But with class, personality, and enough room to carry your whole life—without compromising on style.

I had been eyeing this silhouette for a long time, but I needed *the* spark.
It came with these sequins: shiny, technical, totally not my usual style… which made them just perfect.

Paired with a couture denim I’ve been using bit by bit for the past 3–4 years, a faux leather rescued from the remnants bin at Tissus des Ursules, and a lining found in a kimono maker’s studio—each fabric has its own story, and now they shine together... and so do you!

It’s your daily companion for work meetings, shopping sprees, and festive nights out.

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.

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.
