What Muriel teaches
In her courses, Muriel connects theory to real industry practice, helping students understand how an accessory is developed, sourced, manufactured and inspected within a workshop or a brand.
Turn a creative idea into a well-defined product: purpose, proportions, materials, feasibility, costs and collection consistency.
Understand how materials, suppliers and manufacturing partners are selected, balancing creative ambitions, budgets, deadlines and quality.
Follow each stage of an accessories project, anticipate risks and understand manufacturing constraints and the decisions that make a product viable.
Learn how to assess a product: finishing, construction, durability, inspection points, client requirements and professional standards.
Understanding materials, manufacturing and the product itself through real situations: a prototype, a supplier, a quality constraint or a decision balancing creativity, feasibility and production.

Instructor information
A session may start with a student project, a real case or an industry challenge: develop an accessory, source a material, organise production, oversee a manufacturer or check product quality.
Each module helps students understand the often invisible stages behind a successful product: trade-offs, technical constraints, budgets, deadlines, supplier selection, finishing standards and organisation.
Understand the steps from idea and sketch to product specification, prototype, adjustments, collection and launch.
Identify the right suppliers, understand material constraints and balance design, price, feasibility and quality.
Understand how a workshop operates, its constraints, pace, limitations and critical points to monitor.
Set standards, inspect details, identify defects and understand their commercial consequences.
Structure each stage, prioritise decisions, reduce wasted time and improve communication between stakeholders.
Train students to make decisions, explain their reasoning, implement corrections and present projects professionally.
Prepare and conduct negotiations with suppliers, manufacturers and partners on pricing, lead times, quantities, quality and terms of collaboration.
Coordinate stakeholders, manage workflows, anticipate risks and secure the supply chain from sourcing through to delivery.
Understand cultural differences, adapt communication and coordinate international teams, suppliers and partners effectively.
Sessions can take the form of a one-off lecture, a hands-on workshop, a full module or ongoing guidance for student projects.
The format depends on students’ level, available time, the academic calendar and the desired depth of involvement: knowledge sharing, hands-on practice, project mentoring or expert feedback.
A short session giving students an overview of product development, sourcing, production and quality control.
Group work around trade-offs, real cases, materials, suppliers and operational decisions.
A progressive approach to help students understand the full product development and production chain.
Review product consistency, feasibility, priorities, messaging and the final presentation.
Every session can be adapted to the student group, expected autonomy, teaching brief and required deliverables.
