"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).
