Our story

With Patience was born from a thread that has followed me since adolescence.
A thread made of gentleness, craftsmanship… and, it must be said, a little bit of chaos too.

I grew up in a small shop filled with marbles — a colorful world where I advised customers, played with textures and created my first necklaces. Untangling threads, assembling colors, inventing unique jewelry… it was my refuge.
Even today, if I close my eyes, I can still see every pot of marbles on the shelves. 😆

This shop belonged to Christine, a family friend whom I deeply admired. Her passing left me with a sweet nostalgia, but also immense gratitude.
Launching with Patience was my way of paying tribute to her, of extending what she had passed on to me: instinctive creativity, kindness, the importance of creating with intention. 🤎

Years have passed, my life has filled up — with projects, responsibilities, professional adventures, motherhood, a thousand things at once.
A daily life that is often intense, sometimes chaotic, where everything moves fast.

And that's precisely where my workshop takes on its full meaning.
Creating has become my way of slowing down.
To breathe.
To bring a little gentleness into the turmoil.

Jewelry, like toques, is born slowly.
By hand.
No rush.
In a rhythm that belongs only to me.
This is my calm space in the heart of the whirlwind.

Recently, my mother joined me in this workshop. She sews the toques patiently, like a gesture that connects our two stories.
This is our first official collaboration — and a daily reminder that some things are built better together, and above all, without rushing.

With Patience, that's it:
a deliberate contrast between a hectic life and an art that demands slowness.
Pieces that carry this intention: to be a reminder of gentleness, presence, kindness… even (and especially) on days when everything is overflowing.

Thank you for being here, in this little corner of calm that I am trying to create — for you and for me — with patience.
