“Aurore Boréale”  CO-043

A tie made of blue, green, and purple silk chiffon, lined with taupe ramie.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Adorn yourself with the colors of the Northern nights, the mysterious and enchanting atmosphere of the Northern Lights... A timeless accessory brought up to date.

Its story

I painted this silk scarf in my tender youth, and it regularly found its place around my mother's neck for the 30 years that followed. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me for transformation.
This slim tie allowed it to reclaim a spot around the neck in a form that challenges traditional gender norms.

It has also been transformed into a wallet and a crossbody clutch, and I keep the last scraps for myself, for a personal project that I have not yet determined.

I wanted to step out of my usual creations, while bringing this timeless accessory up to date by transcending its classicism with a decidedly modern and original choice of fabrics. Entirely handcrafted, the tie is a labor of passion that demands precision and patience.

Common questions

Can I place an order by phone?

You can contact me by phone at +33(0)661356222, and I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

"I’m afraid someone else will buy it while I’m hesitating"

Each piece is unique.
I can send more photos or offer a short reservation option to give you time to decide.

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.

Do I need to register to make purchases on the online store?

It's not necessary to have an account to place an order on this website.

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.
