Alice is a friend and an Artisan Saddler with whom I spent a few hours learning the basics of saddle stitching through a beautiful wallet project.

Before that, we agreed that I would create a bag for her.
She had a very specific baby wrap fabric from Oscha Slings in mind, paired with a matching lamb nappa leather from her workshop.
It was up to me to provide the hardware, lining, and of course, the craftsmanship ;)

I had to challenge her vision several times (for technical reasons), and since she’s also neurospicy, it wasn’t easy for her to adjust the ultra-specific idea she had of her future bag. But she trusted me, and for that, I’m sincerely grateful 🥰

In the end, her bag exceeded her expectations, and I’m filled with gratitude for her patience, her emotions, and her friendship…

Here’s the transcription of the video comment she left, which I turned into a reel available on Instagram.

I’m absolutely... I, I, I have no words. It’s too stunning, it’s so beautiful. Everything is perfect, everything is perfect. It’s incredible. It’s so beautiful, it’s unbelievable. Damn, I... Do you see? Look, do you see what these bags can do? So, you’re allowed to say that you make your clients cry. It’s too beautiful. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, it’s magnificent. It’s the most beautiful bag I will ever own, no doubt about it. So thank you, thank you, thank you so much, it’s too beautiful, I love it so much. Thank you, Marie, thank you.

Common questions

I'm clearing out a loved one's home, or passing on family belongings: is this something you can help with too?

Yes, absolutely. This is often a difficult moment: you don't want to throw everything away, but you can't keep it all either, and it's not always obvious what's worth transforming.

To sort through it, we look together at what has the most sentimental value or technical potential (sturdiness, thickness), with photos if that helps. You can send me a selection or bring everything you've found, and we move forward step by step during the discovery call.

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).

"I’m afraid to cut into a sentimental fabric. What if I regret it?"

It’s natural to feel that hesitation. We work together to honor your story.
Each step is validated (photos, video call), and nothing is irreversible until you give the green light.
