Hello, my name is Sarah, I'm 35 years old and I do creative sewing. In 2020, I created the company Les Lutineries de Syrah.

At the same time, my main project remains to develop my network of partners because I want to strengthen my local presence, and thus offer my products in a more accessible way to the inhabitants of our beautiful valley.
