TOUS EN BLASON
In Cute originated from a desire to respect the hand-craft traditions of the saddler and leather-goods manufacturer professions.
‘In Cute’ means ‘in the skin’ in Latin. The work made by the skin, the work that I have under my skin.
------------ Wearing In Cute shield means sharing our values ------------
Situated in the Pépinière du Viaduc des Arts, near Bastille, in Paris, I realized all my creations there. I work according to old technics and repeat ancient gestures. For example, I innovate by creating a new belt buckle: the buckle BADGE.
A greyhound is represented on my shield. It is the perfect symbol of my work: robustness and elegance. The greyhound looks back, where I draw my know-how; it lifts up its leg as I move forward.
I created that belt buckle because I want to offer:
A sober, creative and unisex design
An outstanding quality of materials which ensures its durability
An adjustable concept for more personalization
A fair and honest price considering the production costs
----------------------- CREATE YOUR OWN SHIELD -------------------------
-------------------- by choosing your belt buckle and your leather ------------------
------------------------ and reflect your personality ------------------------
Anne-Sophie, Anne, Lionel, Sébastien and Alice: each of them is wearing a different belt designs with a personal choice of leather and of finishing touches for the belt buckle.
My project is to adapt the SHIELD belt buckle as a jewel’s clip to offer a larger variety of bracelets and to keep the same concept of interchangeability and of large choice of goods. Here my first 3D draft of the project :
I have prepared special offers for every budget, hoping that you will find the one that suits you.
Here is the wide range of sewing threads and leathers among which you can choose for your belts, bracelets, shoes’ jewels and card carriers, as well as the metal finitions for the SHIELD buckle and for the bracelet’s clip.

Waar dient de collecte voor
-- Prototyping of the bracelet clip / 600€
-- Depository system and protection of the models / 400€
To realize my plan, Einstein did a cross multiplication and ensured that I need the following money:
As Einstein was bored, he did a second cross multiplication and said that if we reached a second stage of:
I will be able to produce a second buckle for the UNIFORMI strap. I need more 600€ to realize the prototype and if the fundraising goes beyond that, all my dreams will become true!
