"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

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

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).

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

What is the protective pouch included with the bags?

Every bag I create comes with a bespoke protective pouch, made by hand in my studio.

This isn't throwaway packaging — it's a permanent accessory, meant to be used every day to store your bag when you're not using it, protect it from scratches and dust, or keep it safe when travelling.

It's made in organic cotton satin, sewn to the exact dimensions of your piece, with an organic cotton drawstring to close it. It's branded Marie Alhomme.

For wallets, coin purses, and smaller accessories, I wrap the piece in tissue paper produced locally and sustainably (Papeteries de Montségur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

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.
