"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A work around the concept of hope and depression: fragments of colorful life that pierce the darkness of melancholy. A true favorite for this practical and elegant wallet model.

Its story

The “Arc-en-ciel dans l'ombre” duo is the result of work on the concept of hope and depression: the splashes of color on a black background echo the fragments of colorful life that sometimes pierce the darkness of melancholy.

I had a real crush on this practical wallet model, named “En Ville”, whether in its regular version or in its mini version, to the point that I made several copies, including for myself, which rarely happens.

Match it with the “Croisette” Shoulder Bag.

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig
); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc “leather”)
 No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend

  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex

  • Hardware: metal only (gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow
). Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork
 in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
"Will this style really suit me?"
