Datura and Vrille are our two lines. They share the same leathers and the same workshop, but they do not suit the same day. Here are the facts to help you choose.
At a glance
Choose Datura if…
- You want a structured, box-shaped bag whose flap follows an organic curve inspired by the datura flower.
- You like a bag that organises itself: the interior is built on three slightly offset levels, which helps you find what you are looking for.
- You want to go from day to night: without its strap, the Datura becomes a clutch.
Choose Vrille if…
- You are looking for a light bag: from 180 to 260 g depending on the size.
- You like to carry a bag by hand or in the crook of your arm: the handle, inspired by plant tendrils, is the signature of the model.
- You want to choose your size: three formats, from the 14 cm mini to the 23 cm large.
