Anouchka's ideas N° : SM-021

Anouchka had spotted the babywearing wrap scrap in my inventory, and was brimming with ideas and desires. We had very lengthy discussions about her various projects to determine what would be the best fit.

Anouchka had spotted the babywearing wrap scrap in my inventory, which she ultimately wanted for a different bag model that I had presented, but I didn't have enough of it. She was brimming with ideas and desires, and we had lengthy discussions about her various projects to determine what would be the best fit. I took the time to describe the different possible complementary materials, etc.

In the end, we opted for a giant version of the model I had previously made in a regular size, and I managed to find a larger piece of the fabric she had always been drawn to (a true favorite). I built an initial prototype to confirm the size (and I was right; it needed to be enlarged further to accommodate her request to carry A4 documents), and then the final version.

Upon receipt, satisfaction was achieved:

Thank you so much, it's perfect. [...] It's so soft, so cozy, and really fantastic. Thank you!

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.

"I can’t afford it"

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

Are technical fabrics (sport, dance, running) as sturdy as a classic fabric once transformed?

It depends on the fabric, but in most cases, yes. The stretch and fineness of some of these materials (lycra, softshell or technical jersey, for example) are actually an asset for Kinusaiga panels, and conversely, they're compensated for very well in leatherwork with reinforcements (interfacing, lining), just like any other delicate textile. These fabrics also tend to have excellent resistance to abrasion and friction, which is a real plus for bags and wallets.

We talk it through together during the discovery call.
