Little girl already I 've got a passion for fabrics and wanted to create my own clothes; in fact it's by looking at my mother who loved sewing that this real passion came to me; I am a self-taught in sewing because I have never taken any course, only the desire to learn, the taste for beautiful materials and build something, were my only guides. After a childhood in Normandy, I came to Paris to study medicine; I obtained a degree and I exercised in a para-medical cabinet; but after a few years I was fed up of this life and I decided to completely change my route by returning to my first love. I began to work in prestigious houses of decoration and upholstery as Manuel Canovas and Verel de Belval ( Hermès group)or I received and counseled a chic and well-to-do clientele. This lasted 10 years and by living in this world of beautiful fabrics, I thought why not try and transform these superb materials (also pure leathers, silks, linen etc...). It is thus that in 2005 i created my brand Sofissima ( mark and registered products) and that since that day I try to live this passion with creating objects that I particularly like: bags and other accessories for women.My main motivation is to combine elegance, chic and Paris fashion couture spirit along with practical and easy to wear
. I try to achieve every goal of the beautiful and the useful: simplicity of the forms and lines and majesty of materials. French and foreign clients who trust me and send me beautiful messages of satisfaction on Etsy, Facebook or on my own website. They encourage me, it is certain, to continue in this way, and still work and yet to make that accessory is not reduced only to its initial meaning, but is also an indispensable and essential aspect of feminine elegance.
Thanks for your confidence.
See you soon.
