This summer, I stumbled upon a great batch of gorgeous gorgeous kimono fabrics, and I couldn't wait to transform them into pretty party clutches. There were only small pieces per design, so I could only make few quantities of each clutch. Even better I think: each piece is truly unique that way.  Golden peach floral lizzy clutch

My shop will be closed during the moving, from Sunday 18th September  until bagatelles' new home is all set and ready for action (probably on October 10th). This means the  production of my new collection is a bit delayed, but hopefully everything will be ready

Read this book while comfortably resting on this cushion by Svensk Tenn I used to be a passionate reader, of the "greedy" style! The bigger was the book, the better it was. I was even pretending to be sick sometimes so I could stay in bed a bit longer and finish my book ( I know, I was very naughty!). So many nights were spent reading away until my eyes couldn't remain opened any longer.

"Celebrating the lady from era’s gone by, Nadinoo invites timeless silhouettes and detailing to create it’s vintage felt collections. Designs include boastful bows, flirtatious frills and

After the photoshoot, I took some time to speak with Carli, the talented photographer behind my new photos. Carli shares what it takes to be a successful photographer, what she liked about the shoot and tells us about her addiction to handbags... Carli, you trained as a fashion Designer. What made you change to photography? I studied fashion and garment construction as an ND and loved it

Ladies & Gentlemen, let me introduce you the Mimi handbag!!! After receiving several requests and trying out some samples, my collection of "bigger" Gigi bags is finally ready! I kept the puffy shape and the pleats structure, while considerably increasing the size. It is now as big as the previous Magnolia bag with an inner pocket: you could fit in all your essential for an evening, and

Hey hey, I am proud to introduce a new logo for bagatelles & co... A very talented friend came up with this beautiful design that I think embodies bagatelles & co spirit: vintage inspiration mixed with contemporary design, feminity, daydream... What do you think about it? I'd love to have your feedback!

I can't believe it's already one month since I last wrote something in here!!! I have been working really hard planning a photoshoot of my bags and remaking each of my designs for the occasion. Plus I made a selection of the new big Gigi ( still have to find the right name for it though...) The photoshoot was yesterday and we had such a great time. It was quite an intensive day but totally worth

Oh my...!  I got a really mean cold that forced me to stay in bed with fever, which means I've been literally unable to do anything!!! So frustrating! I'm starting to feel better now and hopefully by the end of the week, I'll be sewing again as ever! But talking about shape, I've been experimentating with shapes lately and I came up with a new bag idea. I got many requests for a bigger Gigi,

He was one of my favourite Designer, and after working in his sudio for several months, I was inspired to pursue my studies in Tailoring. While interning there, I was working on both Textile development and Pattern Cutting/Sewing. It was such an intense experience! It was a lot of hard work but very creative at the

I've always loved Fashion from the past decades, especially from the 20's and 30's. So I was particularly to stumble upon these great shoes from Remix vintage... I can imagine them paired with a pretty vintage tea dress but could also look fab with jeans and a cute little top... mmm, they're on my "to buy" list now!

I watched Pierrot le fou yesterday night and it was again such a pleasure (despite the sad sad end). I particularly love the scene when Anna Karina starts singing about her fate line, but the only things that interests Jean-Paul Belmondo is her hips line... Typical!!!

I love, love, love this photoshoot based on Alice in Wonderland by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue USA 2003 with model Natalia Vodianova. In each shot, the Designer who made the dress she's wearing is posing as one of the story's character... I particularly like Vikot&Rolf as Tweedledum & Tweedledee!
