Its story

I had a real crush on this practical wallet model, named “En Ville”, whether in its Mini version or its regular version like here, to the point that I made several copies, including for myself, which rarely happens.
Soft colors and materials, to accompany you in style during high-powered meetings or shopping trips.

“Mille Toffees” is a collection created especially for the exhibition at the artistic space of CIEL (at Sivalor), focused on the upcycling of what is often considered “waste.”
Remaining true to my creative approach inspired by textile upcycling and the sublimation of memories, I crafted this “Mille Toffees” collection from a thrifted goat leather trench coat that seemed to have lived a beautiful life and deserved a second one. I paired it with cotton fabric scraps entrusted by a client for her custom order.

This collection speaks of resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba.
Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. Its soft and warm tones, variety of shapes, will elegantly accompany you in your daily life.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

Each piece is unique.

It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

Through this service, I offer to create a piece that reflects you, using your sentimental fabrics, fabrics from my stock, or even fabrics I find specifically for you. My creativity and expertise, combined with your imagination, have no limits.

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.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

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.
