Its story

For this piece, I chose a babywearing wrap with a pattern reminiscent of the molecular structure of oxytocin, the love hormone.
It's accompanied by scraps of lambskin leather and Haute Couture fabric. Gunmetal hardware completes this ensemble.

This XL companion is a hybrid of a coin purse, wallet, and cardholder with gussets to carry all your papers without needing a bag or to keep them organized in your bag.

Pair this piece with the matching “Nostalgie” shoulder bag.

Common questions

Why are there "Near-Perfect" items and what are they?

As part of my sustainable view of the modern luxury fashion, creating as little waste as possible is central. You can learn more about this on my Soulful Values page.

"I’m afraid someone else will buy it while I’m hesitating"

Each piece is unique.
I can send more photos or offer a short reservation option to give you time to decide.

Where/How are they made?

I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a motorized skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as “seconds” from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.

Find out more about this on the Soulful Values page.

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.
