Falling for Claris Virot: A Very Special Collaboration

When it came to the details, we wanted something that felt both classic and uniquely ours. We chose braided straps, which add a subtle texture and a touch of craftsmanship. But my favorite detail is the bag charm. I really wanted something special to mark this partnership, so we decided on a handmade flower. This flower, which beautifully symbolizes our collaboration and the spirit of AndBloom, now adorns the shopper, a matching shoulder bag, and a lovely, very practical wallet. Seeing the final prototypes for the first time was a surreal experience. The quality is fantastic. These are bags for life, handmade with so much love and attention to detail. Even the inside of the bags is absolutely gorgeous—because true luxury is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.

Two weeks ago, I was in Paris for the photoshoot with Clarisse. There is something undeniably magical about Paris in the spring. Walking through the streets of the city with this bag set, everything just fell into place. The soft grey leather looked stunning against the backdrop of Parisian architecture, and carrying the bags felt incredibly right. It was a moment of realization—we had created something truly special.
