Quinoa Paris

The collection "Bouton de col" consists of a family of eight luxury baskets/tote and pouches which are designed and made in France. Each of the baskets/tote comes as a single piece of leather skin, cut out in a flat layout, which it is assembled through a special folding system.
The name of the collection "Bouton de col" comes from the only accessory used to hold the basket/tote in place. The challenge was to use the least accessories to raise up the nobility of the leather material on the basket/tote.
The collection aspires to a smart and sustainable concept, through the simplicity of it's design, items without stitching and studs. The production set in a factory in the North East of France with the material choice, vegetable tanned leather & accessories in brass screwed on.
The concept has been thought as well to create an affinity between you and your item as each of them is personified with a name.
The whole process of designing the collection "Bouton de col" began through an architecture project. This collection was created to be of great quality, minimalism yet keeping a timeless essence is well suited in a home environment as well as in fashion.
