“D'or et de Charbon” N° CO-091
"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A great combination of contrasts: gold with charcoal, rich fabric with smooth and matte cork, geometric and straight assembly with the anarchy of the pattern. A true favorite for this practical and elegant wallet model.
Its story
When I thrifted this babywearing wrap, I wanted to play with contrasts: between the preciousness of gold and the simplicity of charcoal, between the rich and shiny texture of the fabric and the smoother, matte texture of cork. This led to a very geometric, very straight assembly to oppose the anarchy of the pattern and materialize one last contrast.
I had a real crush on this practical wallet model, named “En Ville”, whether in its Mini version or its regular version, to the point that I made several copies, including for myself, which rarely happens.

Slightly reduced price (normal price 328€) because I'm not completely satisfied with the cork/fabric assembly.
