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

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.
