“Indigo” Tambourin Bag Weaving in strips

A handbag of the tambourine model , practical and elegant, where the vestiges of my old projects are found, pretty scraps of indigo blue fabric gathered in patchwork .

Made with great care and finesse, this unique piece was entirely handmade . Made in collaboration with Emmanuel Zagre, a great craftsman tailor from Ouagadougou, it is a co-creation produced between Belgium and Burkina Faso.

We have created several small collections of "four hands" accessories in Ouagadougou, in 2018, 2019 and 2021.

For these tambourine bags , I first made the patchworks in Brussels, from offcuts of indigo woven cotton from Mali , denim fabric from recycled jeans, vintage strip weaving from Ghana and Faso dan fani , artisanal cotton weaving from Burkina Faso . In a second step, the patchworks were cut into circles, mounted and sewn in Ouagadougou by Emmanuel.

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 with complementarity. We work by upcycling , with great respect for the fabrics we use down to the last piece, with a view to reusing materials and reducing waste .
