One evening, an order came in for the “Albatros” mini travel bag in its “Signes” version.
🥳 After a little happy dance, I prepared the package for shipping the next day...
But the following morning, an email arrived: order canceled 😢. After double-checking, the bag turned out to be too small.

No problem—I replied to Charlotte that I completely understood and told her about my custom service in case she wanted a larger version.
Bingo! She sent me her baby wrap to transform, and while waiting for it to arrive I suggested several “travel bag” models, just to be sure. In the end, we decided to stick with the original design.

When the wrap arrived, we held a video call so I could show her the complementary materials and hardware that would pair well with her wrap. We selected a few, and to make her decision easier I took plenty of photos and videos, both in sunlight and in shade.
I even made a photo montage to help her visualize the materials layout.

Finally, I got to work, sending her photos of the progress along the way, and even proposed an improvement over the original design: a sleeve to slip over suitcase handles.

Just before the holidays I shipped her bag, ready for all her travels.
After the summer break, she sent me photos of it in use and left me a message that warmed my heart:

I thank Marie a thousand times for the custom travel bag she created from a keepsake baby wrap.
She was very attentive to my requests, adapted to my needs, always offered solutions, and responded very quickly! The finishing is of very high quality and I will not hesitate to call on her again if the desire arises 😊

Common questions

"I’m afraid to cut into a sentimental fabric. What if I regret it?"

It’s natural to feel that hesitation. We work together to honor your story.
Each step is validated (photos, video call), and nothing is irreversible until you give the green light.

"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.
