Concept to creation
Explore the intimate journey behind every piece, from the initial concept and inspiration to the refined breakthroughs that transforms ideas into sculptural pieces. In this section, discover the raw sketches, the unforeseen challenges, and the decisive moments that shape each design. Here, the process is as tactile and thoughtful as the final creation, reflecting a commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation.
Luna XL
Designing Luna XL was all about pushing scale and figuring out what I actually wanted in an everyday bag. I kept coming back to Luna, its texture, shape, and structure felt perfect, but I kept thinking, what if it was bigger? That’s where this design started.
Scaling it up wasn’t as simple as just making it larger. I had to completely rework the shape to keep its structure while making sure it still moved beautifully when worn. Some yarns were too soft, others too stiff, and it took a lot of trial and error to get the right balance. That’s one of the things I love about my process no two bags are ever exactly the same, and every step of making them is a learning experience.
I never want to create something that feels like it already exists. There are so many shoulder bags out there, but I wanted Luna XL to stand out as something that feels special the second you put it on. The textures, the contrast, the way it sits on your shoulder it’s all designed to add something unique to your everyday.
Corsica
Corsica was inspired by my love for the French island of the same name, a place where rugged coastlines meet dense, tree-filled landscapes. I’ve always been drawn to the way nature shapes design, how patterns and structures evolve over time, and I wanted to capture that sense of organic beauty in a bag.
I started experimenting with bamboo, intrigued by the idea of blending its flexible strength with the soft drape of knitting. Finding the right balance was a challenge, some early versions were too rigid, while others lost their shape entirely. But through trial and error, I found a way to let the knitting flow while the bamboo subtly supports its structure, creating a bag that moves with you while holding its sculptural form.
The stretchy, tactile strap adds to its uniqueness, making it unexpectedly comfortable to wear. I wanted Corsica to feel special from the moment you receive it, something that effortlessly fits into your life, transitioning from coffee mornings to dinner dates with ease. And while it may seem compact, it’s deceptively spacious, designed to hold all your daily essentials.
Pushing the boundaries of 3D knitting has allowed me to create a handmade bag with true structural integrity, strong yet fluid, practical yet undeniably feminine. Corsica is more than just an accessory, it’s an exploration of texture, movement, and form.
Luna
When I first started thinking about making bags, I knew one thing, it had to be different. I wasn’t interested in creating something that already existed, so I set myself a challenge: design a bracelet bag that was both bold and beautiful, something sculptural yet wearable.
Luna came to life through a lot of trial and error. I had been working with a knitting technique I discovered at university, one that creates a surprisingly firm fabric while keeping the delicate stitch details visible. At first, I was piecing together different knitted shapes, stitching them into place, but then it hit me, what if I knitted the entire bag as one continuous piece? That moment changed everything. It gave the bag its distinctive structure while allowing me to shape it in a way that felt truly unique.
From there, the design kept evolving, adjusting the scale, refining the shape, making it bigger, then smaller, testing different yarns until everything clicked. It took months to get it just right, but Luna became a piece I’m genuinely proud of. And now, with Luna XL, I’ve been able to take that original design and push it even further.
What I love most is how each bag carries a strong design identity, you can see and feel the craftsmanship in every detail. And while photos capture a glimpse, nothing compares to experiencing the textural richness of these pieces in person.
