Our Story & Commitments

Juin 2000, on sirote un cocktail sur une plage de Boulouris...le coucher de soleil, la mer, les rochers comme seul point de vue ! Nous sommes deux amies dans le sud de la France...Les serveurs qui s'occupent de notre table sont tous habillés différents, aucune harmonie, aucune identité visuelle... On se dit "dommage pour un si bel établissement"...l'idée est née ! 

Nous commençons alors une ligne de vêtements de travail à partir de toiles traditionnelles telles que le canvas, le denim, le velours, le cuir...que nous allons décliner dans de nombreux coloris selon nos inspirations et les tendances de la mode. Au fil du temps, ces couleurs et matières nous amènent à développer une gamme d'accessoires qui suit la même dynamique que le vêtement professionnel : l'utilité, la résistance, l'efficacité des formes, le confort des matières, la beauté des couleurs... 

Il naît ainsi une ligne de sacs mixtes pour le voyage, le sport, la plage...,nos fameux chapeaux avec leur célèbre double lien cuir, en papier ou en feutre et nos mocassins colorés ultra confortables.

Globe trotter ou casanier, Travaux en Cours vous suit partout...

In June 2000, our story began beneath the sunny skies of Saint-Raphaël, along the French Riviera. It was here that Cécile Fernez, an art historian trained in Aix-en-Provence, and Nathalie Pégaule, an ESMOD Nice fashion design graduate, decided to combine their creative visions. Their goal was simple: to design the essential accessories that effortlessly bridge the gap between work and everyday life.

Together, they craft pieces where authentic materials take center stage. Raw, dyed, and carefully textured canvas blend with beautifully worked leather. To bring these designs to life, Cécile and Nathalie selected dedicated European workshops in Italy and Portugal, alongside a family-run atelier in India specialized in leather craftsmanship.

For over two decades, the brand has stayed true to its warm, vibrant spirit. Timeless pieces built for daily adventures, guided by one simple philosophy: Feel good & enjoy ;-)

Our Philosophy

We choose to invest in product quality rather than high-budget marketing campaigns. Our commitment is rooted in straightforward values: crafting durable, timeless pieces built to last. We believe the true worth of an object lies in the lasting satisfaction it brings you every day. To refresh our collection with each new season, we let color take center stage.

Our 3 Signature Essentials

We focus our expertise on three core pieces: The Apron, The Bag, and The Hat. These versatile designs are structured around two distinct lines:

Workwear & Professional Outfits: Functional, comfortable, and stylish gear designed for teams across all industries.

Fashion Accessories: Everyday essentials crafted to enhance your style with simplicity and authenticity.

A Personal Connection

Behind every product is a genuine human connection. We put customer relationships at the heart of everything we do, offering attentive support, fast responsiveness, and constant availability whenever you need us.
