Soulful Values

Unique Pieces / Ultra-Limited Series

Every piece that comes out of my workshop is different and numbered. I don’t make series (or only ultra-limited ones).
By that I mean I never sew:

• the exact same fabric/pattern combination twice;
• and only rarely the same pattern more than once, with 5 being the maximum I allow myself;
• very few collections, even mini ones, that repeat and adapt the same fabric combination on different models (for example, the “Mille Toffees” collection contains 8 pieces and I don’t think I’ll make such a large set again for a loooooong time).

All this quite simply because:

• I hate doing repetitive things;
• I love exploring new patterns and learning new techniques;
• I only sew when inspiration strikes me and I have a vision of a very specific combination;
• since my fabrics are almost exclusively thrifted on impulse, I have far too little to produce them endlessly—sometimes barely enough for a single piece;
• I want to offer you the chance to stand out with accessories that are truly unique and bold.

That’s why when you buy one of my numbered pieces you are guaranteed to own a truly original and unique work, born from a creative and artistic process completely free of commercial constraints.

Upcycled and High-Quality Materials

Sewing/leathercraft is resource-intensive, and to stay aligned with the values I uphold every day, I’ve chosen to practice it in a thoughtful and reasonable way. I therefore prioritize organic raw materials, short supply chains whenever possible, and “symbolic” fabrics.

By choosing upcycled materials, I help reduce the environmental impact of my activity while giving each piece I create its own unique character, since I source materials from varied places and give them new life while preserving their beauty and quality.
I use durable fabrics and robust leathers, carefully selected to ensure the strength and longevity of my bags and wallets.

When purchasing new leathers, I prioritize “clean” and certified ones (Naturleder/BioKreis/E-Carf), and I also offer “clean” vegan alternatives (washable Krafttex paper, cork backed with organic cotton, etc.).
My faux leather is new, but not from the usual “new” supply chain: it comes only from leftover rolls, “defect” coupon bins, or scraps from other creators, in order to avoid supporting the supply-and-demand system.

To guarantee maximum durability and minimize plastic use, I only buy metal bag accessories from a trusted supplier in Belgium, who offers a wide variety of styles and finishes with high quality. I am also proud to support a woman-led business with outstanding customer service.

Sharp Finishes

Every detail, from the choice of materials to the final stitch, is handled with remarkable precision and care. Each piece I create is the result of my passion for craftsmanship, my commitment to excellence, and my constant pursuit of perfection.

My sense of detail is reflected in the exceptional quality of the products I offer. Every stitch is considered and executed with meticulous precision, giving my creations a refined aesthetic and a professional finish.

My dedication to high-quality finishes also extends to the durability and functionality of my creations. I make sure each piece is strong and well-structured, using proper reinforcement techniques and premium materials.

No Waste

Precision and innovation, both in design and execution, are very important to me—even if sometimes I don’t reach the perfection I aim for.
I also strive to be as economical as possible (with materials, resources, and time), especially since most of my fabrics are rare or unique.

That’s why some of my creations are labeled “Almost Perfect.” Their “flaws” are usually nearly invisible and mostly aesthetic, always honestly disclosed.
They are not remade and are sold as they are, at a discount: an opportunity for you to acquire a beautiful original piece at a lower price while helping build a more sustainable world.

All the waste I generate during production is also reused. When not repurposed in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks, etc.), I give it away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans for their creations (like jewelry), or to associations, community centers, and schools for their workshops.

Going Further

I am committed to adopting an environmentally respectful approach even in my communication:

• My stickers are made from fully compostable sugarcane paper (thanks to Helloprint);
• My thank-you flyers are printed on recycled BioTop paper (entirely made from agricultural waste using green energy), chlorine-free, recyclable, and biodegradable (also via Helloprint);
• When I don’t reuse tissue paper from my suppliers, the new tissue paper I use is made in France by Papeteries de Montségur (not far from my workshop). They hold the EPV, FSC, and Sedex labels, have implemented controlled water use, and produce 100% recyclable and biodegradable tissue paper;
• I reuse all boxes that come my way and choose them so their size matches as closely as possible what they need to contain;
• I even found “clean” tape, for both inner wrapping and sealing boxes. It’s made from biodegradable plant-based “plastic” suitable for industrial composting (PLA from corn starch, bio-sourced with no fossil resources) and natural rubber adhesive;
• My website doesn’t use a heavy CMS, but a “flat-file” architecture that generates less server load and therefore a reduced carbon footprint. It’s also hosted by a French provider with locally based infrastructure.
