It all started with him. Coconid was born from an idea… and an absence.
My name is Sophie.
And for years, I had an idea tucked away in the back of my mind.
A very simple idea: find a way to keep my cat, Tigrou, close to me, even when I was busy.
Because that's how Tigrou was.
He followed me everywhere.
When I worked, he came and snuggled up against me.
When I sat down, he looked for my arms.
And when I had something to do, he simply wanted to be there.
I wish I could have taken him with me more often.
But I always told myself:
“I'll deal with it later.”
At the time, I worked in ready-to-wear fashion.
I worked long hours.
I came home tired.
The days went by, then the weeks.
And that idea stayed in the back of my mind.
One day, I'll make it happen.
Then one day… Tigrou went out.
And he never came back.
I searched.
I waited.
I hoped to see him come back through the door like he always had.
But he never came back.
I will probably never know what happened to him.
Maybe he was hit by a car.
Or maybe he simply found another family, one that was able to give him all the love and attention he deserved.
That uncertainty is probably the hardest thing to accept.
Because there is always one question left:
“What if I could have done things differently?”
For a long time, I stopped thinking about that idea.
Then, years later, it came back to me.
I asked myself:
What if I finally created what I had imagined for Tigrou?
A piece of clothing that would let you keep your cat close to you.
A warm, soft, reassuring place.
A little refuge.
A cocoon.
A nest.
That's how Coconid was born.
I can never go back.
I will never know what happened to Tigrou.
But I can bring to life the idea I'd had for all those years.
And perhaps help other people enjoy those little moments with their companion for a little longer.
Because we often think we'll have time.
Tomorrow.
Next week.
Later.
But sometimes, “later” never comes.
So if your cat looks for your arms, if he follows you everywhere, if he simply wants to be close to you…
keep him close.
Enjoy these moments.
That's exactly why I created Coconid.
