Who am I?

I'm Marie, a craft artisan in the Loire, France. I cut and assemble every bag and wallet on my own, in my workshop.

I spent years building websites before turning to sewing in 2016, then leatherwork in 2020. I found the same love of detail and the same puzzle-solving as in my digital work, plus everything it lacked: touch, material, emotion.

Here, I tell my own stories. I hunt for leathers and fabrics that “whisper” something to me, and turn them into one-of-a-kind pieces that will, I hope, stir you a little. Sometimes they carry a message, sometimes they're “just” beautiful.

And when someone trusts me with a fabric that matters, I tell other people's stories too: more than 80 bespoke pieces so far. Bespoke is this way ↗
