When I design a new product, I always try to combine beauty and practicality. My goal is simple: to create pieces that feel special to use every day, not just something you store away in a drawer.
This new pouch collection is very close to my heart because it brings together different textures, moods, and small details that make each piece unique.
The original design: elegance in dark beige velvet
The main beauty pouch in this collection was created with a clear idea in mind. It's something that looks beautiful both on the outside and on the inside.
I chose a dark beige velvet fabric for the exterior because I wanted something soft, minimalistic, and timeless. Velvet has this subtle way of catching light, so the surface has a gentle shine that changes depending on how you hold it. It feels warm, feminine, and understated.
Inside, I used a pink leopard print lining. I love this contrast, because it's calm and elegant on the outside, playful and unexpected on the inside. It’s a small detail, but it makes opening the pouch feel a little more special every time.
One of the most important things for me was structure. I don’t like pouches that collapse completely when they’re empty. This design holds its shape, which makes it more practical in everyday use and also more beautiful when it’s sitting on a table or inside a bag.
The diamond quilting adds texture without overwhelming the simplicity of the design, keeping everything clean and minimal while still visually interesting.
A new playful variation: soft pink teddy edition
Alongside the main design, I also created a smaller variation that brings a completely different feeling.
This version is made from soft pink teddy fabric: fluffy, cozy, and more playful in character. It has a lighter, more whimsical mood compared to the velvet version, but still keeps the same practical structure and zip closure.
To make it even more special, I added a small handmade slice of lemon made from polymer clay as a charm detail. It’s a tiny unexpected accent that brings a fresh, joyful touch to the pouch and makes each piece feel one-of-a-kind.
Two moods, one collection
What I love most about this collection is that it offers two different moods:
- The velvet version: minimal, elegant, structured, and timeless
- The teddy version: soft, playful, and expressive
Both are designed to be used as beauty pouches, cosmetic pouches, travel pouches, and everyday zip pouches. It's depending on what you need.
Final thoughts
For me, this collection is about balance: softness and structure, simplicity and detail, calm tones and playful surprises.
Each pouch is handmade in small quantities, which makes every piece a little bit unique. I hope they bring not only organisation to your daily routine, but also a small moment of joy every time you use them.
