Sylvie Strohl designs and manufactures handbags and couture accessories in textiles and leather in a classic revisited style. Its inspiration is nourished by fashion and Haute Couture and fundamentally anchored in the 40s / 50s. An assertive taste for the trapezoidal shape is reflected in its models. She seeks elegance and sobriety. The collections of unique pieces are built over the seasons. Each bag is designed and made by hand. Each piece is cut, covered with canvas, assembled in the workshop. She uses artisanal sewing techniques related to clothing acquired during the training: pockets, flaps, piping… The interfacing is the link which homogenizes the variations in thickness between the textile and the leather. The selected textiles and leather come from Haute Couture or High-end leather goods collections.
Self-taught since childhood, Sylvie Strohl chooses to take a break from her professional career, to follow a sewing training in a private workshop in Angers. For two years, her daily life will be enriched with techniques of patronage, method of sewing, creation and making of collections, development of prototypes and she will pass her CAP Couture Flou. It is during the making of collections that she adds the bag to her models and flashes on the Accessory. She loves the Object. The outer face which supports the outfit and its more intimate inner world. It is on this object that her creative imagination will gradually focus, leading to the opening of her workshop in 2013. She joined Ateliers d'Art de France in 2016.
