“Broken Tiles” Tambourin Bag Sky blue white

A tambourine model handbag , practical and elegant, where the vestiges of my old projects can be found, pretty scraps of fabric gathered in a kaleidoscopic patchwork.

Made with great care and finesse, this unique piece was entirely handmade in collaboration with Emmanuel Zagre, a great craftsman tailor from Ouagadougou.

It is there that we produced together these small collections of unique accessories, "with four hands", in 2018, 2019 and 2021.

For this tambourine bag , I started by composing patchworks by sewing small scraps of Faso dan fani, the artisanal cotton weaving of Burkina Faso . In a second step, each patchwork was cut in a circle, then mounted and assembled by Emmanuel.

Its name " broken tiles " refers to the "mosaic" tiles that cover the surfaces of certain terraces and floors of houses in West Africa, and which are made from the remains of broken tiles.

Our creations carry with them the quality of our exchanges and our passion for a job well done. Our professional partnership consists in associating our technical know-how in complementarity. We work in upcycling , with a lot of respect for the fabrics, which we use until the last piece with a view to reusing materials and reducing waste .
