“C'est ASSE(z), 2” N° CO-196

A shoulder bag in white and green leathers combined with a vintage green-and-white football jersey, and a white-and-green polyester satin lining.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection What about sports? Deconstructing the codes of a traditionally masculine sport through rounded shapes, soft leathers, and a broken-mirror effect.

Its story

One of sport’s greatest strengths: triggering big emotions and creating unforgettable memories. For example, if you’re in your forties like me, and I say “1998” in a sports context… there’s a good chance you know exactly what I mean and where you were…
That’s why it’s a theme I’ve wanted to address for a long time, even if I’m not myself a great athlete.

Of course, it was important for me to do so in a way more traditionally seen as “feminine,” since men already have more than enough merchandising dedicated to them. The artistic leathercraft I practice was the ideal medium.

To begin this work, I chose to pay tribute to the local flagship of my adopted department: ASSE, even if I’m not really into football.
I thrifted a jersey and a vintage pennant at Trincamp (a local shop dedicated to vintage football), and searched for bag patterns that would showcase them through their shapes.

This pattern has definitely inspired me. I’m already nearing the limit of 5 versions I set myself—this is the third.
Its shape, its suppleness, and its cuts reminiscent of a broken mirror all perfectly matched my goal.
I searched for the right green leather for a long time, and the haute maroquinerie scraps I found at Sibel Leather saved me. To complement them, I used a white leather jacket thrifted a few months earlier, and a lining salvaged from a workshop closure.
And of course, this vintage jersey, chosen for its patterns and lack of sponsors. I also loved its collar, which I used for the handle.

A casual yet chic bag, that remains practical.
