The Midinette - Initiatives Coeur
Initiatives-Cœur x 727 Sailbags: a collaboration with heart.
The story of our collection begins in 2020. In the middle of the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabres, Sam Davies and Paul Meilhat tore the gennaker of the 60-foot Imoca Initiatives-Cœur. On their return, they bring the sail to our workshop to be recycled and transformed into bags.
The products of our special Initiatives-Coeur edition were designed with Sam Davies; part of the profits are donated to the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque Association, as part of the Initiatives-Coeur project. The funds are used to operate on children with heart malformations in France.
The Midinette Initiatives-Coeur is a little clutch made from 100% recycled sails.
Flexible and resistant, it has a zipper closure and a generous size to carry all your daily essentials : a wallet, your phone, etc.
A certificate of origin has been sewn inside and tells the story behind the sails
