After several years as an employee in retail, I felt like I had lost the meaning of what I was doing. Low-cost, low-quality items that will inevitably be thrown away at the first sign of wear and tear and replaced with a new, low-cost item. Having studied the fashion industry for 4 years, I know this fascination with clothing, accessories, and trends. I also know its impact on the environment and how our consumption habits are harmful to it but also on the perception of our identity. Wanting the latest bag, the latest pair of sneakers seen on social media, what does that say about us? How do we express our individuality in a world governed by influence and trends that are massively adopted and relegated to the closet in record time to make way for the next one?

I naturally turned to natural stones, which for me contain the most beautiful things nature has to offer. I refuse to use plastic in my creations and prefer to use sustainable materials such as glass beads and stainless steel findings. I experimented with several materials and suppliers until I found the best result in terms of comfort, strength, and color. I wore and used all my creations to ensure that they satisfy as many people as possible while resisting daily use.
