Anouchka's ideas NĀ° : SM-021

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

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.

Can I order a bespoke transformation as a gift for someone?

Yes ā€” and it's one of the most thoughtful gifts I've seen people give.

Offering someone a piece made from a fabric that belongs to them (or that belonged to a loved one) is a rare and deeply considered gesture. It takes a little organisation, but it's entirely doable.

A few practical points:

  • You contact me and manage the whole project ā€” the recipient doesn't need to be involved if you want to keep the surprise;
  • You'll need to get hold of the fabric discreetly;
  • I can help you choose the right model if you're unsure what would suit the person best;
  • A thoughtful gift wrap can be arranged on request.

Tell me about your idea during a discovery call, and together we'll imagine something truly unforgettable.
