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.

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

"It’s too expensive"

Each piece is unique: imagined and handcrafted in my studio in France.
The price reflects the technical skill, premium materials, and the uniqueness of an artwork designed to last and keep its aesthetic strength. A true favorite like this is cherished for years.

Can I transform the clothes of a loved one who has passed away, as part of grieving?

Yes, and these are among the most deeply moving projects I get to work on.

Your father's jacket, your grandmother's coat, the jumper you can't bring yourself to give away because it still smells a little like her... These fabrics carry something irreplaceable. Transforming them into an everyday object means giving them life again without erasing them, and for many people, this is part of the grieving process itself: the memory is no longer folded away in a drawer, it's worn, or displayed.

I approach these projects with particular care: we take time to talk about the person, the story behind the fabric, what you want to preserve and how. The finished piece isn't just a bag — it's an object that continues to bear witness.

And if several family members each want a keepsake made from the same garment? That's possible too. One piece of fabric can give birth to several different pieces, for several different people. We look at what the material can offer, together, without wasting any of it.

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

Yes — 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 — 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.
