"Cogitations" Range / Collection Imaginary The freshness of summer fruit colors, the lightness of wordplay, and the sophistication of leather. A spacious tote, practical and chic.

Its story

When I saw this set of 3 cushions with their clever, tender, and funny wordplay, I immediately knew I had to create a trio of bags, and the "Cabas" format would be the most fitting.
I even had the exact model in mind, which I had crafted several years ago, with its practical details that make a difference: magnetic flap closure, an exterior zip pocket, and an interior slip pocket.

I also wanted a dressed-up result, so using rescued leather (and upcycled faux leather for this version) for a contrast of colors and textures was a natural choice, along with golden hardware for a touch of chic.

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