A B O U T

'Couper et Coudre' comes from the French verbs meaning 'to cut' & 'to sew' and gives a nod to our handcrafted philosophy. A desire to work in a sustainable way and create items that are well made and will stand the test of time.

Started by Fleurie Thomas in 2017, Couper et Coudre (C -et- C) originally began as a  leather-craft studio.

The space has now evolved into a platform to celebrate handcrafted accessories made by local craftswomen and makers.

After studying for a BA in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins and working in the Interiors industry for a number of years, Fleur decided to merge the study of materials, space and shapes to make and source designs for people who are looking for well made and unique accessories that will stand the test of time.

With a belief that our environment has the power shift our mood and when created mindfully can increase feelings of well-being, Fleur believes in surrounding ourselves with pieces we love and that 'beautiful objects with a purpose' can elevate our everyday.

The space has now evolved into a platform to celebrate handcrafted accessories made by local craftswomen and makers. Each piece is created by the hands of the maker themselves and sent directly from their studio to yours ~ a slower, more intentional way of honouring the craft.

We’re proud to champion the women behind the work, their stories, their materials and their quietly skilled processes, bringing you pieces that travel straight from the maker’s hands to your home.
