"Cogitations" Range / Collection Wearable Art Be a work of art while carrying one, without sacrificing practicality thanks to its many pockets. Bold colors and strong lines in a piece that evokes Mondrian’s iconic work, instantly recognizable.

Its story

It took me 46 years to admit to myself that I am an Artist. A whole reflection on the notion of Art led me to launch this triptych “Wearable Art” in order to dust it off.
I wanted a different vision: less academic, more accessible, more personal. Where artworks are worn, crumpled, and live with us.

To do this, I chose to illustrate three great classical disciplines: painting, sculpture, and music.
“Composition” is the first part, representing painting through Mondrian’s work of the same name (at least, its most well-known version).

The choice of pattern was obvious: the smaller version of “Échiquier,” born from a collective “mystery sewing” (a type of creative challenge I love), was perfect for its geometric nature and square-based divisions.
As for the materials, they came from a meticulous search among haute couture leather offcuts at Sybel Leather, combined with pieces from a skirt and a jacket by a major Parisian fashion house.

The result: this crossbody bag is practical, fun, and chic, proclaiming loud and clear a love of Art.

How do you ship?

Delivery of your order is an essential part of my customer service. I strive to provide you with a reliable, fast, and convenient delivery experience, so you can quickly enjoy your purchases.

Once your order is placed, I ensure that your items are carefully packaged and prepared for shipping. I choose the most suitable packaging options to protect your products during transportation.
My pieces are thoughtfully wrapped and shipped in upcycled cardboard boxes (read more).

Each bag is protected by its custom-made satin drawstring pouch, made from 100% organic cotton satin or 100% linen fabric, and closed with a 100% organic cotton cord, that I custom-make specifically for each bag.
Wallets and other small items are wrapped in tissue paper, either new (locally and sustainably produced) or recycled depending on their size.

I offer free shipping to France, except for Kinusaiga items (see below). For all other destinations, I aim to maintain competitive and transparent shipping costs. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight, size of your package, and the destination to provide you with the fairest pricing possible.

Kinusaiga items (kits and artworks) have their own rule: within mainland France and Monaco, shipping starts from €4.90 depending on weight; to the French overseas territories, standard Colissimo rates apply. They don't go further on their own, but with a bag or a wallet they travel at no extra cost, wherever I ship leather goods.

Whether it's standard, express, or international delivery, I work with reliable carriers (Colissimo or Mondial Relay) to ensure the delivery of your package within the estimated timeframes, with tracking and insurance. If you wish to use other shipping providers like FedEx or UPS, please contact me at hello@maroquinerie-sentimentale.fr or by phone at +33(0)661356222 so I can calculate a cost estimate for you.
