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 💜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nicole's husband's bag

In late 2023, Nicole contacted me with an original request: she wanted to surprise her husband for his birthday by reproducing a shoulder bag that he had been using for 10 years despite its dilapidated condition. The result? A bag that transcends gender stereotypes.

Common questions

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.

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.

Can I combine fabrics from different people in the same piece?

Absolutely — and it can be extraordinarily beautiful.

Blending your grandfather's jacket with your grandmother's scarf in one bag, weaving together fabrics from three generations in a clutch... these assemblages carry something powerfully symbolic, and they often produce visually rich and unexpected results.

The only constraints are technical: the fabrics need to be compatible with each other (durability, thickness, structure), and each piece needs to be large enough for the planned cuts. But by playing with finishes — flat panels, patchwork, geometric or organic shapes — we can often work with small pieces and still create something coherent.

We take stock together during the discovery call, looking at your fabrics and imagining the possibilities. Bring everything you have!
