"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature The “Volutes Printanières” create an atmosphere of wonder and renewal. An invitation to the rebirth of nature for this elegant and practical wallet.

Its story

An ode to rebirth, to remind us that even after the coldest winters, life always finds a way to be reborn and flourish. The soft colors of this piece suggest tender herbs and freshly blooming trees.

I painted this silk scarf in my younger years, and it regularly adorned my mother's neck for the following 30 years. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me to transform.
A bag, a pouch, and this wallet emerged from it and were put up for sale. I'm keeping the last remnants 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?

Heavily reduced price (normally 306€) due to a few minor defects. Some are cosmetic and invisible when closed: the exterior reveals a cut mark, and the interior has a small pale red stain near the magnetic button (see the last two photos). The other is that the left card slots are slightly narrower than usual (but still fit cards as intended).

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.

Common questions

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

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.
