sunday funday | Personalized Keepsake for the Handbag Addict.

When I graduated from Ryerson’s fashion program in 2009, I was looking for an extra special grad gift. I know I was talking with my mates about getting matching Tiffany bracelets (cheesy, I know), a holiday to Cuba (I passed, Cuba is definitely not on my vacation list) and then I came across a personalized keepsake created by French artist; Nathalie Lecroc, in the book “The Goddess Guide” by Giselle Scanlon.

The gist is that, Nathalie is currently working on a book called “Petite Anthologie de Sacs et Sacs à Main” showcasing 1001 original watercolor paintings of handbags portraits from all over the world. 

Usually clients have to visit her in Paris, but now you can photograph all your essentials including your chosen handbag, mail the photos and she will have your personalized painting on the way in under a month. Each painting is numbered and the handbag owner receives the original watercolor. Her only rule? Be honest about you actually carry with you.

The bag I picked is the Marc by Marc Jacobs softy Faridah in cream which was a 21^st birthday gift from my mum. 

3 years later, I still have and use everything but the phone, and wallet and of course that particular makeup.

If you’re interested in her work, contact Nathalie at: pypaul@club-internet.fr.
