Fabrics and their origins

Nothing is left to chance in the fabrics I use.
Some come from far away, others from very far away— in time or in soul .

My mother was also a fabric lover. A great collector, passionate about patterns, textures, and living materials.
Today, I have with me some of its treasures: old fabrics, patiently kept for 10 to 45 years , full of memory, history, and silence.
When I create with these fabrics, I extend his gesture. It's a form of homage and rebirth.

Alongside it, I add my own findings, gleaned from around the world .
Japan, Africa, the Caribbean, Polynesia, Hawaii, India, Europe, North, Central and South America… — Each fabric was chosen based on places, encounters and emotions.

But not in “classic” stores.
I unearthed them in open-air markets , alleyway workshops , dusty shops , artisans' suitcases , nooks and crannies of textile museums , family attics , or even in the moment of an unexpected human exchange .

These places also take you on a journey. And that's what I'm looking for: to take the material on a journey before it touches you.

Each fabric is a trace. A connection. A memory in motion.
Together, they form a living material, which carries at the same time intimacy, elsewhere, surprise and meaning .

🧶 What I prioritize:

• 🧳 Textiles gleaned from various places: craft markets, discreet workshops, end of stock items, heirlooms, impromptu encounters

• 🌍 Various geographical origins: Japan, Africa, Caribbean, Polynesia, Hawaii, India, Europe, North, Central and South America…

• 🪡 Antique fabrics passed down by my mother , aged from 10 to over 45 years old

• ✂️ Rare or forgotten materials , carefully valued

• 🌱 Soft, raw or textured fabrics , but always respectful of the skin and rich in meaning
