"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love Romantic. The purity of materials, the sobriety of colors... add charm to this practical and chic small clutch.

Its story

Romantic. One facet of the classic vision of Woman.
The purity of materials, the sobriety of colors, the classicism of the pattern... all contribute to the charm of this piece with a rich family history.

It took me some time to source this certified organic greased leather, and its purity seemed ideal for highlighting these sentimental remnants: my wedding dress (which was my mother's before) and upholstery fabric left over from a project I did for my mother upon her request.

I don't use clutch bags myself, but this pattern with its harmonious proportions and beautiful curves inspired me to explore this path, especially since it allows me to repurpose relatively small fabric scraps while remaining entirely functional.

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.
