Its story

“Envolée” invites you to escape during a busy workday, contrasting the gray of the pavement with the turquoise of the sea, the rigid shape with the lightness of birds and petals taking flight... An elegant piece with a touch of whimsy.

After a discussion with a friend, I wanted to create a more functional yet elegant bag, and this pattern that I've had for a long time without finding the right materials for it seemed ideal.
While searching the workshop for a turquoise fabric for an upcoming collaboration (shh, it's still a secret), I came across this piece of babywearing fabric whose size was perfect for the task. Luckily, I had these scraps of imitation leather that I had instinctively collected from a colleague, and they were exactly the right shades.

The result is a shoulder bag that allows you to effortlessly and stylishly carry everything you need for a day at the office or a client meeting: a laptop, a water bottle, a book, a large wallet, notebooks, and more.

Common questions

How long does it take for a custom piece?

The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

Are your products authentic?

All my creations are numbered and come with an identity card that includes the type, model, version, number, detailed materials list, and care instructions.
I'd been working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, but I finally decided against it (for a host of reasons I might write an article about someday).

Is it possible to order a custom piece?

In addition to the original creations offered on the website and created on inspiration, I offer an on-demand solution to create pieces that match your emotions, designs that reflect you. To achieve this, I've created the Bespoke Service.

Through this service, I offer to create a piece that reflects you, using your sentimental fabrics, fabrics from my stock, or even fabrics I find specifically for you. My creativity and expertise, combined with your imagination, have no limits.

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.
