Agnès's babywearing wrap N° : SM-076 , SM-077, SM-078, SM-079, SM-080, SM-081, SM-082, SM-083, SM-084

Agnès had this baby wrap that had been part of her family's journey for a long time. She didn’t want to part with it and wanted to enjoy it in a new form. So we brainstormed together to make it happen.

Agnès reached out to me to transform her beloved baby wrap—the one that had been with her family for so long—into a collection of handmade pieces, allowing her to enjoy it in a new way.

We listed the different items she wanted: a large messenger bag, a wallet, three pouches, three snoods, and a neck scarf...
I checked that everything could fit within the 4.5m of fabric, we selected the complementary materials (two caramel lambskins and solid-colored vibrant cotton poplins), as well as the hardware, and then I got to work.

A few challenges along the way (the chosen zipper was nearly impossible to find, the leather was too soft), and several dozen hours later, I was able to send all her pieces back to her.

Mission accomplished!

I’ve received all your creations, and they are stunning. I’m so happy. We all had the same reaction: “Wow, this leather is so soft!” I’m such a fan—I never get tired of admiring your work 🥰 The bag is sitting proudly on the windowsill between the kitchen and the hallway, and I find myself gazing at it with love for a good part of my day 😅

Common questions

Do you offer support for a wedding, before, during or after the ceremony?

Yes, a wedding is a moment I can support at several stages.

Before or during the ceremony, we can create a fashion or décor piece carrying the presence of an absent or deceased parent, or matching pieces where each partner wears a little of the other's fabric. Afterwards, the dress or suit can become a bag, a wallet or, if you'd rather have something to display than to wear, a kinusaiga panel: the wedding fabrics take the shape of a wall piece, to keep on display in your home rather than folded away in a garment bag.

What kinds of objects can you create, beyond bags and wallets?

Probably more than you'd imagine!

Here's what I can make from your sentimental fabrics:

Leather goods: backpack, crossbody, belt bag, handbag, sling bag, travel bag, tote, clutch, pouch, coin purse, wallet...

Accessories: pocket mirror (Ocebo'), babywearing mirror (Coucou Hibou), tie...

Textile/clothing: bomber jacket (child or adult), low slippers or ankle booties (sizes EU 25 to 47)...

Textile art: kinusaiga panel — a Japanese craft technique, very graphic, which transforms your fabrics into a framed wall piece.

If you have an idea that's not on this list, bring it up anyway. I haven't yet met a request I couldn't find some way to approach — and if I genuinely can't make it work, I'll tell you honestly from our very first conversation.

Can I follow the making of my piece as it happens?

You get to choose — and it's a genuine decision to make at the start of the project.

Full updates with photos: I send you photos and sometimes videos at each key stage — cutting, assembly, finishing. You see your fabric come to life step by step. Some people love this. Others find it only makes the waiting harder!

Total surprise: I work away quietly, you see nothing until you open the parcel. For those who want the sense of wonder to be fully intact, right through to the last moment.

Something in between works too: a message after the cutting stage, a photo mid-way, then the surprise finale.

Whatever you choose, one thing I promise: if something along the way needs your input (a motif placement decision, an unexpected colour choice), I'll reach out. You will never be faced with a fait accompli on anything that matters.
