Alison's babywearing wrap N° : SM-015

Alison is my first international customer, as she is American. She contacted me as soon as she saw that I had a scrap of a babywearing wrap that she had fallen in love with.

Alison is my first international customer, as she is American. She contacted me as soon as she saw that I had a scrap of a babywearing wrap that she had fallen in love with. She asked for a convertible backpack that can be worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody, and I suggested the “Oh Seau Chic,” which is simpler than the model she initially saw among my spontaneous creations.

We had a lengthy discussion about the complementary materials, and she ultimately chose cork on 100% cotton denim for its durability (her initial choice was 100% organic cotton canvas). We also added an additional external zip pocket in addition to the one inside.

Here's her reaction upon receiving it:

Ooommmggg the pictures do not do this justice. It's amazing!! [...] I have admired your creations for a while. When I saw you had this scrap I had to reach out!!

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 happens to my fabric during and after the transformation?

Your fabric is precious, I know that, and I treat it accordingly.

During the transformation, I only use what's needed for the piece we agreed on. Offcuts come back to you. I always tuck them into your return parcel, unless you tell me to keep or dispose of them.

In practice:

  • You send me your fabric (the whole garment, or the section you want transformed);
  • I work from your piece, making the most of every centimetre in a thoughtful way;
  • Any remaining offcuts travel back home with your finished creation.

If your fabric is very small or choices need to be made (where to position a motif, which section to prioritise), we talk it through before any cutting happens. Nothing is cut without prior agreement.

Do you offer support for a wedding, before, during or after the ceremony?

Yes, a wedding is a moment I can support at several stages.

Before or during the ceremony, we can create a fashion or décor piece carrying the presence of an absent or deceased parent, or matching pieces where each partner wears a little of the other's fabric. Afterwards, the dress or suit can become a bag, a wallet or, if you'd rather have something to display than to wear, a Kinusaiga panel: the wedding fabrics take the shape of a wall piece, to keep on display in your home rather than folded away in a garment bag.

"I can’t afford it"

Payment in 4 installments is possible.
For bespoke orders, I can also spread the creation stages over several months.
