Small pastel runs, cut and sewn one at a time in the studio.
Pick the model, the fabric and the lining. You receive a photo of the piece before it ships.
Order custom made« My pouch is even prettier in person. The stitching is clean, the lining is perfectly set, you can tell right away it is not mass produced. »
« I have used my tote bag every day for six months, it has been washed several times and the colors have not faded at all. »
« I ordered a custom case in a fabric I picked myself. Lovely conversations along the way and the result matches exactly what I had in mind. »
« Adorable packaging, a handwritten note, and a matching mini pouch as a gift. The kind of parcel you want to photograph before opening it. »
Every piece is cut, interfaced, lined and topstitched by hand, in small runs. Clean seams, matching lining, reinforcements at the stress points: accessories made to be carried every day, not only to look good in a photo.
A well built fabric bag shows three things no photo can: the interfacing that gives it structure, the lining that protects the seams, and the topstitching at the stress points. Every bag from the studio has all three.
Set an empty bag on a table: if it keeps its silhouette, it is interfaced. If it flattens like a plain piece of cloth, it will not take the load of daily use.
A pouch is flat and slips into an already loaded bag. A case has a reinforced flat base, stands on its own and opens wide: it is the main container for makeup, toiletries or pencils.
The lining follows the use: plain cotton for what stays dry, coated canvas as soon as there is a tube, a bottle or a balm that can melt at the bottom of a bag.
Cotton shrinks by 3 to 5 % on its first wash. In the studio, every cut goes through the machine and the iron before being cut: the finished piece will not deform when you wash it in turn.
Care comes down to three habits: lukewarm water, no twisting, dry flat in the shade. Never a tumble dryer on an interfaced or quilted piece.

Yes. Every piece is cut and sewn one at a time in the studio, on a home sewing machine, in small batches of a few units. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is mass produced: once a batch sells out it may not come back, or it comes back in a different fabric. That is also why two pieces of the same model can have a slightly different print placement.
Mostly cotton and cotton poplin for the outer shell, lined with a matching plain cotton. Bags and tote bags get a fusible interfacing that gives them structure, and pieces that need to resist water (wash bags, pouches) are lined with coated canvas. Fabrics are washed and pressed before cutting so the finished piece will not shrink on its first wash.
Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, or machine wash at 30 degrees inside a mesh bag for tote bags and uncoated pouches. No tumble dryer: dry flat or on a hanger, away from direct sun. A gentle iron on the reverse side brings back the fresh look. For coated linings, a damp sponge inside is enough.
Yes, and it is the most fun part. You pick the model, the main fabric, the lining and the finishings (piping, strap, zipper), and you receive a photo of the piece before it ships.
