A French fashionable attaché case
My latest creation is an attaché case I have made with an antique wooden box and 19 th century fashion plates.
There is very few large enough fashion plates in antique French fashion journals and I had to take care to do a good job and don't spoil the two I found in my collection. These antique papers are thin and fragile!
It is a very special attaché case I offered to my daughter for Christmas and I am very proud of (the briefcase and my daughter...).
What an immense pleasure to work and create for our loved ones!

A wonderful Christmas gift for a wonderful girl
That's why I'm working since one and a half month to make a large box, illustrated with a very beautiful 19th century' fashion plate. It will be a briefcase as nobody have seen yet: only one on earth like this, worthy of a queen.
I let you look at the case before I paint it
I've nearly finished, have still to paint the interior, lay the varnish and set handle and feet in bronze.
I will show to you!

Le Journal des Demoiselles: the latest creation
I used a small antique box, formerly containing silver tea spoons, to make my latest creation. The imprint I pasted comes from an authentic Journal des Demoiselles. The two handpainted characters are particularly charming!
This box would be nice to put into business cards, for example. Put down on a desk, it will be very chic!
A good gift idea for a friend.
You may think about putting into make-up pencils or lipsticks as well.
As for all my creations, I sell it on my website for a low price and ship all over the world.

A fashionable desk accessory for a dynamic woman
An antique glove box of the late 19th century, the French fashion journal "Le Petit Echo de la Mode" July 10th of 1887, elegant ballgowns gravures de mode, crystal chandeliers, a lot of work and creativity: this is the recipe to create this special desk accessory.
You put it down on your desk, business cards and pens into, and you are sure to be unique!
People meeting you at your office can guess a lot about you when looking at your pen box: you are educated and refined, you like fashion and think that women are marvellous, you expect a lot from yourself as from the others, everyday you need some beauty around yourself.
This box is no longer available: already in use on a desk in Paris, in a gorgeous up-to-date young woman's office.
But I can create a special one for you, and only you.
Is there anyone loving you and wishing to offer you a present? Thanksgiving and Christmas are not so long...

A special graduation present
It is important for friends and family to mark the occasion offering a nice present.
You wish to give your recently graduated daughter, sweetheart or friend, something she will keep forever and will use every day and think fondly of you?
She is very feminine and stylish, she is really into fashion, beautiful dresses and accessories?
Think of giving her an exceptional authentic French fashion box.
