The self-reversing bags
She has a lovely accent. Sparkling and vivacious, Anneli Martikainen embodies what we call a successful career change. The designer of Muse de Provence offers her clients a whole range of reversible bags…
Vintage gold braid, a collection of antique fabrics, and a multitude of other finds—Anneli draws inspiration from her years studying architecture and interior design. A Finnish woman who has made Provence her home, she also uses designer fabrics to create her tote bags (for the most part). Colorful, silvery, and ribbed, these little marvels will delight fashionistas. But that's not all; this Provençal woman also loves working with lavender. "I live near a lavender field," she smiles. So, to pass the time, she makes little sachets, cushions, and pouches to hold this "gold of the fields." Originally from Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apts, this young woman is eager to develop her brand. And, of course, to keep Provence as her muse.
