"Intuitions" Range / Theme Heritage Evocation of the upcoming journey and the mysteries it will reveal. A practical and chic weekender bag.

Its story

This piece is ready to take off with its lateral “wings”, an evocation of the upcoming journey. Both chic and mysterious with its black and white ethnic signs and caramel base.

The body is partly made of “Krafttex”, an eco-responsible washable paper. Composed of cellulose, water, and latex, it has an appearance close to leather but stiffer, and it ages and softens over time. It's an interesting material that can be washed, ironed, painted, dyed, sewn, embroidered... and that I loved incorporating into several pieces after discovering it as an Interfacing in my favorite wallet model (the “En Ville”).
It is paired with a very soft 100% cotton wrap produced in very small quantities and impossible to find.

This pattern caught my eye with its original shape and seemingly small but actually very comfortable volume. Perfect for a weekend getaway, imagine yourself using it in the lovely little provincial hotel you've reserved for the occasion...

To match the “Clématite” clutch.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (normally 574€) because some finishing details are not quite perfect: a few extra or missing stitches, a very small stain near one of the bag's feet.

Common questions

How long does it take for a custom piece?

What materials do you use to make my pieces?

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc “leather”)… No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
  • Hardware: metal only (gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow…). Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
“Will this style really suit me?”

If a piece draws you in, it already resonates with you.
We are never one-dimensional: it might reveal a side of your personality still waiting to shine.

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.
