The History of Nurse Pouches

Good morning,

Here is the somewhat long story of this crazy adventure.

In 2015, I was a surgical nurse at the Dinan clinic, after noticing that I was losing my pencils whenever I bent over or ran in the corridors, I decided to find a solution to my problem.

I took out my sewing machine and tinkered around all evening to find a hygienic and practical solution.

Once the pouch was made, I wore it proudly in my blouse.

My colleagues wanted it, then my colleagues' friends.

I became self-employed, just to be legal.

I had the approval of my management, of course.

In addition to my 3 young children, my husband who was traveling, and my job as a nurse, I created the pouches which became known through word of mouth and social networks.

Months and years passed at this frantic pace, sometimes accumulating a delay of up to 2 months...

In 2018, I moved to a company, the company was taking up more and more space. It was time to ask the right questions.

April 2019, I took a 6-month unpaid leave, just to see if I could get by and get the deadlines up to date... Then I extended it by 5 months. At the end of this period, I had to make a decision!

I resigned in 2020, the year in which I had my first premises and my first employee.

At the end of 2020, there were 3 of us.

2021, 3 other people joined me in these adventures of bags and sequins.

End of 2021, new premises, we have heating for the winter and a large living space, where we feel at home and all this 5 minutes from my home.

2022, 2 other people have arrived, I have surrounded myself on the administrative level. The end of the year promises to be intense and exciting because lots of projects are coming up and I will talk about them again very soon.

Yours in the pocket,

Linda
