La Débraillée is a study in functional design.

The project originates in 2015 from an exploration of urban rhythm, where movement, adaptability, and daily repetition dictate how objects are used and carried. Each bag is conceived as a structural response to a specific use scenario: from the morning commute to the late-night return. Design is stripped to its functional core. No ornament, no surplus. Every fold, seam, and cut exists to serve a purpose. This is not aesthetic minimalism, but a precise alignment between need and form.

The bags are made in a small factory in the Marche region of Italy, through an ongoing dialogue between designer and artisan. Each piece reflects a collaborative process, where decisions are refined in close exchange with the technical knowledge of those who work the material. The result is a production rooted in precision, continuity, and care.

The collection is made using upcycled leather, selected for its lower environmental impact. Black remains the core color, chosen to emphasize function, continuity and its timeless character. Occasional color drops such as brown or pink are released in small editions, depending on the availability of recovered material. Each series is finite and will not be reproduced once the material runs out.

La Débraillée is a small collection of eight bags and four accessories. Some pieces transform, others double their function, all remain grounded in use. Through this project, the bag becomes a typology to question and rearticulate, one that shifts with the body, anticipates gestures and makes visible the logic behind its own construction.

Each model responds to a specific gesture or context. A pouch for errands, commuting, and walking the dog. A crossbody that folds into a clutch when needed. A belt bag that detaches and becomes a handheld piece, conceived for nightlife. A clutch with a shearling-lined pocket that warms the hands. Totes and satchels with hidden slots for outerwear. A backpack that turns into a tote. A bum bag designed for multiple positions across the body.

The accessories extend this logic. A keyring that avoids pockets. A card holder for quick access. A phone pouch that keeps the device close during movement. A travel case that opens into a standing tray, making small routines more efficient.

Together, these pieces do not describe a style but a logic, one in which the body leads and the object follows.
