Its story

An homage to tradition through noble materials, derived from ancient craftsmanship: cork on organic cotton denim and handwoven babywearing wrap.

I had a true 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 one for myself, which rarely happens.

Match it with the “Oh So Chic!” Convertible Bucket Bag.
