Alison 's babywearing wrap N° : SM-055

Alison is a textile artist for whom I made a custom bag as a thank-you for the works she created for the children of a lost friend, as a tribute to her.

Alison is a textile artist who works with small scraps of baby wraps to create colorful and original artworks.
I had commissioned a piece from her using scraps from a friend we lost the previous year (a friend who had planned to contact her before passing unexpectedly). Alison went further by creating several pieces for each of her children (ensuring no one was left out), all free of charge, moved by their story.

I absolutely wanted to thank her, so I suggested an exchange of skills: mine for hers, through the creation of a custom-made piece using her sentimental materials.
She chose a shoulder bag model and sent me a baby wrap and lining fabric, both inspired by the Lord of the Rings universe.
We selected a faux leather in a fun complementary shade and gold hardware for a chic touch, and I got to work.

Success on arrival:

It's here and it's amazing I absolutely love it!!! [...] It looks amazing thank you 💜💜 [...] My purse goes so well with it 💜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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).

What if my fabric is damaged?

That’s common, and most of the time it’s not a problem.
We select the usable areas and I complete with premium materials to ensure strength and durability.

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.
