The Midinette - Initiatives Coeur
Initiatives-Cœur x 727 Sailbags: From Sail to Heart.
In 2020, during the Transat Jacques Vabres race, skippers Sam Davies and Paul Meilhat damaged the gennaker of their 60-foot Imoca sailboat “Initiatives-Cœur”. We repurposed the sail into a unique collection of bags, designed with Sam Davies.
Proceeds from the sales are donated to the Mécennat Chirurgie Cardiaque NGO to fund children's heart surgeries.

The Midinette Initiatives-Coeur is a chic and eco-friendly clutch crafted from 100% recycled sails. This versatile and durable accessory features a zipper closure and offers ample space for all your daily essentials, including a wallet and phone.
Each clutch comes with a sewn-in certificate of origin that narrates the unique story behind the sails. These pieces are individually numbered and part of a limited edition collection, making each one truly special.
