Its story

This piece doesn't go unnoticed with its enchanting colors reminiscent of the Northern Lights in the Grand North.

I painted this silk scarf in my younger years, and it regularly found its place around my mom's neck for the 30 years that followed. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me to transform it.
A slim tie, this wallet and much later a crossbody clutch came out of it and were put up for sale. I'm keeping the last scraps for myself, for a personal project that I haven't determined yet.

This wallet model seduced me with its elegant yet highly practical design. I've made a few of them, which is still relatively rare for me, but when I want to match a bag with an accessory, I find this one very relevant.

There are other versions in the shop as well.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (original price 306€) due to an excess (discreet but present) of glue on the lining of the upper flap and hesitant stitching on the leather overlap of the back pocket.

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.

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.
