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

"I’m afraid it won’t be ready in time for an event"

Artisanal creation takes time, but I can adjust the schedule, advise a design compatible with your deadline, and keep you informed at every step.
For ready-to-ship pieces, I ship within 12 hours and can arrange express delivery (Colissimo free of charge, Chronopost 10 a.m. option).

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.

What if I have no idea what model I want?

No worries! I don’t lack imagination—or experience...
I guide you with questions and will suggest several visual directions (photos, videos, mockups).
