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

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.

"It’s too expensive"
Each piece is unique: imagined and handcrafted in my studio in France.
The price reflects the technical skill, premium materials, and the uniqueness of an artwork designed to last and keep its aesthetic strength. A true favorite like this is cherished for years.
What's the difference between 'Essentials' and fully bespoke?

Both options use your fabric, benefit from the same care, and come with the same level of support — the difference is the starting point.

The Essentials
These are tried-and-tested pre-designed models (crossbody, coin purse, tote, slippers...) that I personalise with your materials. The silhouette is set; you choose the textiles, colours, and finishes. Perfect if you don't have a specific shape in mind yet, or if you want to keep a tighter rein on your budget. The result is still unique, because your fabrics are.

Fully bespoke
Everything is open: the shape, size, carry style, pockets, materials, threads, hardware... You can come with an existing pattern, a sketch, an inspiration photo, or just a vague idea to explore together. It's the most open-ended option — and therefore the most personal.

In both cases, we start with a discovery call so I can understand your fabric, your needs, and your vision. And in both cases, almost anything is possible.
