Audrey wanted a pair of my slippers and jumped at the opportunity of an exchange with babywearing scraps to finally treat herself.

Audrey wanted a pair of my slippers and jumped at the opportunity of an exchange with babywearing scraps to finally treat herself.

A pair with a pattern of stylized birds and soft colors with a touch of brightness reminiscent of the confetti from the super soft, woolly tussah silk coupon. The upcycled linen canvas interior adds freshness.

[...] thank you very much, they are very beautiful and comfortable.

Common questions

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.

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 follow the making of my piece as it happens?

You get to choose, and it's a genuine decision to make at the start of the project.

Full updates with photos: I send you photos and sometimes videos at each key stage: cutting, assembly, finishing. You see your fabric come to life step by step. Some people love this. Others find it only makes the waiting harder!

Total surprise: I work away quietly, you see nothing until you open the parcel. For those who want the sense of wonder to be fully intact, right through to the last moment.

Something in between works too: a message after the cutting stage, a photo mid-way, then the surprise finale.

Whatever you choose, one thing I promise: if something along the way needs your input (a motif placement decision, an unexpected colour choice), I'll reach out. You will never be faced with a fait accompli on anything that matters.
