SACATOU

Cloth bags for everything and everwhere

STORY – ORIGINS

It all started with a textile love affair.

In West Africa, between two film shoots, I stepped (heart first) into a world where fabrics speak, sing, and dance. I couldn’t resist — I came back with wax prints, wild ideas… and the irresistible urge to stitch my stories into them.

A traveller — thanks to my work as a filmmaker — and a nomad at heart, I was looking for the perfect bag: light, lovely, clever. Since it didn’t exist, I made it myself. Then made another. And another. One for the computer, one for the phone, one for shoes, one for pies (yes, pies travel too). And finally, the SACATOU, (from french “sacs à tout”) — my all-purpose, all-story bags.

Today, I tell my journeys with a needle and vibrant fabrics.
And tomorrow? Maybe new stopovers, and why not, new fabrics to rescue and reinvent.
Because every fabric deserves a beautiful detour.

MANUFACTURING

Our fabrics come from Ivory Coast’s flagship factory: UNIWAX. By choosing this renowned company, we actively support the local production of authentic African textiles, celebrated for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Each bag and travel accessory is carefully handcrafted: those destined for Greece are made locally, in a small workshop, a choice that enables it to maintain its four employees throughout the year and ensuring efficiency and proximity, while the rest are lovingly created in our small workshop in the Loiret region of France.

All accessories are made of cotton fabric except waterproof padding and lining of certain items.
