Each year, we create a collection of models following the season's colors. Not all models are done each year but can be ordered once they are out.

The production is entirely made in Geneva in her work studio. She is part of a social project (together with the City of Geneva) that aims to reinsert young teenagers back into the working field. She gives them close lessons on bags production and sewing.

On each bag, the leather is the only recycled part. Each items of the bag (buckles, linen, zippers etc..) are strictly European and are chosen in the finest high-end manufactures in Italy and France.
