"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry Mosaic is the result of a collective “mystery sewing”, a different and exciting challenge. “Alchimie” an alliance of magnificent midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, has emerged from my workshop to brighten your days and evenings.

Its story

Mosaïque is the result of a collective “mystery sewing”, a different and exciting challenge. When I started, I didn't know what the final result would look like, as the pattern pieces and assembly steps were revealed to us bit by bit every 5 days.

Choosing fabrics for this creation was a challenge. I made several selections of fabric combinations that “spoke” to me, and, although I already had a little idea without wanting to admit it, I put the choice to a vote on my social media profiles.
The result confirmed my inspiration, and “Alchimie”, an alliance of magnificent midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, has emerged from my workshop to brighten your days and evenings.

Pair it with the Mini Coin Purse “Zip Zip”.

Common questions

My package is lost/I haven't received my order… what should I do?

Contact me as soon as possible via hello@maroquinerie-sentimentale.fr or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. weekends and public holidays), carefully packed and tracked.

The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement, sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message, just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

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.

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.
