Its story

This piece echoes the coordinated satchel that whimsically and elegantly celebrates the tale “Alice in Wonderland”.

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

Match it with the “Trapèze” Satchel.

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

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.

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.
