This bag is the result of a collaboration with De Fil en Fil, an association whose mission resonates with my own values. Dedicated to the transmission of artisanal weaving know-how, De Fil en Fil actively contributes to sustainable development in Geneva and serves as a place for intergenerational and intercultural exchange centered around textile practices. As the association explains, its workshop is a colorful and welcoming space accessible to anyone wishing to learn, refine their skills, create, express themselves, or give new life to used textiles through weaving.
The wool used for this bag comes from the Laines d’ici spinning mill, based in Cernier, in the canton of Neuchâtel, where it was recovered, sorted, washed, and spun within the association. Unfortunately, the spinning mill was forced to close permanently on December 19 due to a lack of funding. The artisans worked tirelessly and with deep passion, but despite their commitment, sales alone were not sufficient to sustain the association’s activities and preserve its unique know-how. This closure marks the end of an invaluable local textile practice, rooted in care, transmission, and sustainability.
This project is an invitation into the world of artisanal weaving, shaped by human connection, shared knowledge, and respect for materials.
