Cindy's babywearing wrap scrap and wax offcut N° : SM-054

Cindy had this babywearing wrap and this wax fabric to which she was very attached, and she knew in what specific type of bag she wanted to showcase them: a “Hobo” bag.

Cindy had this babywearing wrap and this wax fabric to which she was very attached, and she knew in what specific type of bag she wanted to showcase them: a “Hobo” bag.

I conducted an extensive search to find THE precise model that would meet her requirements, as well as hardware colors. I consulted her on pattern placements and cutouts, and then radio silence, complete secrecy, because she wanted the surprise...

And what a surprise! I even added a small round zippered pouch with some scraps and a keychain to complete the set...
I hit the bullseye:

Received the bag, it's so beautiful and I was so impatient that I opened it in the car.
And I love the pouch.
Thank you very much.

Common questions

"I can’t afford it"

Payment in several installments (3 or 4 times) is possible.
For bespoke orders, I can also spread the creation stages over several months.

What kinds of objects can you create, beyond bags and wallets?

Probably more than you'd imagine!

Here's what I can make from your sentimental fabrics:

Leather goods: backpack, crossbody, belt bag, handbag, sling bag, travel bag, tote, clutch, pouch, coin purse, wallet...

Accessories: pocket mirror (Ocebo'), babywearing mirror (Coucou Hibou), tie...

Textile/clothing: bomber jacket (child or adult), low slippers or ankle booties (sizes EU 25 to 47)...

Textile art: kinusaiga panel — a Japanese craft technique, very graphic, which transforms your fabrics into a framed wall piece.

If you have an idea that's not on this list, bring it up anyway. I haven't yet met a request I couldn't find some way to approach — and if I genuinely can't make it work, I'll tell you honestly from our very first conversation.

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.
