Textures adapt to the seasons, colors coordinate with every intention, with a natural palette as a base. natural palette. Marie-Laurence Stévigny favors full-grain leathers and up-cycled fabrics, preserved know-how preserved know-how, fluid uses, like leather nourished by patience. And because they are intrinsically intimate, Pockets can now be personalized with the initials of those who already wear them.
Marie-Laurence Stévigny is a Belgian but international designer who values the notion of discreet luxury. luxury. Pouches were the first bags in the history of fashion, but also the first "hiding places". the first "hideaways" of emancipation for women who possessed only what society society was willing to grant them. Symbols of freedom, Pockets liberated movement, lightened the silhouette silhouette, emphasize the moment, and pocket the bet."

Why the pocket?
Because pockets are at the origin of the first bags in fashion history, as Arte TV explains in this documentary.
Because it's a concept that fits the skin of women and men in the age of mobility.
Because you always need a pocket to hand.
Because as a designer, Marie-Laurence Stévigny focuses her creative vision on the creation of a multiple product for individual use in the age of dematerialization.

Because when you lighten up, you focus on what's essential.

Because as Monsieur Saint-Laurent used to say: "Put your hands in your pockets and you'll have style".
