Its story

The Desert. The intense blue of the sky. The warm tones of the sand from which mirage swirls rise. A world of contrasts where the scorching heat of the day gives way to the chilling cold of the night.

To recreate this ambiance, I used scraps of sturdy fabric in a beautiful Klein blue and a small piece of a babywearing wrap I found because I love this Iberian-inspired pattern, which is also found in the lining.

This tote bag model is one of the first I made, and I was drawn to its dimensions, elegant shape with its beautiful central insert, and its finishes.

A large “tote” bag to accompany you in all circumstances, whether professional or personal.

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.

It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments. I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.
"Will this style really suit me?"
