"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love Resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba. Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. An elegant and practical wallet.

Its story

Elegant yet highly practical design. I've made a few of them, which is relatively rare for me, but when I want to match a bag with an accessory, I find this one very relevant.
Soft colors and materials, to accompany you in style all day long.

“Mille Toffees” is a collection created especially for the exhibition at the artistic space of CIEL (at Sivalor), focused on the upcycling of what is often considered “waste.”
Remaining true to my creative approach inspired by textile upcycling and the sublimation of memories, I crafted this “Mille Toffees” collection from a thrifted goat leather trench coat that seemed to have lived a beautiful life and deserved a second one. I paired it with cotton fabric scraps entrusted by a client for her custom order.

This collection speaks of resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba.
Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. Its soft and warm tones, variety of shapes, will elegantly accompany you in your daily life.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

There are other versions in the shop as well.

Common questions

How long does it take for a custom piece?

The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.

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.

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.

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.
