ANOSY — The Making of a Bag
Anosy is the shoulder bag designed to go everywhere. Neither too big nor too small, I imagined it for weekends, the office, long days and evenings when you find yourself carrying a little more than expected.
I wanted a shape that would sit naturally on the shoulder, with a minimalist raffia stitch, yet enough character to give the bag its own personality.
Matériaux authentiques, sans compromis
The double handle came about through several attempts. Because the creative process never unfolds exactly as we imagined it. We start with an idea, a drawing, and then bring it to life with the actual material. Sometimes, what seemed obvious on paper simply doesn’t work once it is made.
So we modify. We soften. We start again. Sometimes, we let go of one idea to make room for another.
That is exactly what happened with this piece. Originally, it was meant to be the bag’s handle. But once made, it was far too rigid compared to the softness I had envisioned for Anosy. So I changed the handle.
But something was still missing.
I really love this part of the creative process: bringing my prototypes home, leaving them in the living room or in my bedroom, looking at them, wearing them. I literally live with them. I move them around, observe them, cut, mend, modify… and then go back to the workshop with new ideas.
One day, Anosy was sitting on my coffee table. I took that original handle, too rigid to work as a handle, and simply placed it on the front of the bag.
And I loved it.
In the end, it didn’t need much. We reworked the piece, refined its proportions and finish, and it naturally found its place on Anosy.
That’s also what creating means: starting with an idea, being willing to change it, and sometimes discovering a better version of what you had originally imagined.
