Je viens de découvrir (merci Instagram!) la collection de sacs et accessoires en cuir de la californienne Agnes Baddoo et c’est mon #fashioncrush du jour !!!

Amoureuse d’un sac en cuir ayant autrefois appartenu à sa mère, Agnes Baddoo l’a maintes et maintes fois fait réparé pour lutter contre l’usure. Un jour cependant, elle a été contrainte de trouver un atelier qui pourrait le lui refabriquer à l’identique. C’est ainsi qu’est née sa collection.

La collection est composée de quelques modèles seulement dont l’emblématique Sac N°1, le grand tote bag, décliné en version plus petite appelée le Sac N°2. Ces deux best-sellers de la collection s’accompagnent d’une pochette banane archi craquante de simplicité ainsi que d’un sac bandoulière sur le même ton. Il y a aussi dans la collection des accessoires tels que protège-passeport et ceintures.

Agnès Baddoo s’inspire de formes simples et efficaces, sans fioritures inutiles pour créer des sacs classiques et fonctionnels. Réalisés en cuir tanné végétal, ils sont fabriqués artisanalement par un petit atelier à Los Angeles.

Intemporels et vieillissants à merveille avec le temps, ils s’inscrivent dans une mode que Agnès Baddoo veut durable et sans gaspillage ni surconsommation.

Mon big crush va aux versions en cuir naturel dont la patine avec le temps sera de plus en plus sublime. Ils ne sont pas sans me rappeler d’ailleurs les sacs en cuir naturel de la marque italienne Il Bisonte.

Big crush donc qui donne envie de sauter dans un avion direction la Californie pour aller faire un petit shopping de Noël !!! En attendant et pour rester inspiré, vous pouvez suivre Agnes Baddoo sur son Instagram pour une dose quotidienne de soleil. Inspiration …

There are certain people with whom connection is immediate, a certain mutual admiration passing between you from the second you meet. That is exactly what happened when I met Agnes a few years ago through a mutual friend. Agnes is undoubtedly a force. There is a kindness deep in her eyes, and a softness in her heart that is evident in the raw honesty and way she discloses about her life - directly to the important stuff! She is known in the Los Angeles community not only for her radiant personality but also for her cult favorite bags. The simple designs, high quality material and tried and true shapes of her locally and traditionally made leather goods have captured the hearts and attention of many. She started small at the Echo Park Craft Fair, with her first season selling out within hours. I personally have a few of her pieces (The Sac 2, Belt Sac and the Canvas Foldover clutch - coming back to her website soon!), which I constantly get compliments on, and they are only getting better with time and love and wear.  We were thrilled to meet Agnes for a shoot recently at her friend’s art space (thanks for letting us use the space Kieley Kimmel!), which doubles as a showroom. With natural light flooding in through tall windows, we savored sweet goodies from Canter’s and chatted about photo 101, later laughing our way through a practice of ‘perspective’ on nearby train tracks. Each piece she wore came to life with her magic - a magic that these photographs seem to capture perfectly, every moment of eye contact with the camera lens a glimpse into the unique artist and being that is Agnes!
