Clémence contacted me to repurpose one of her babywearing wrap coupons into a bag model she had seen in my inventory.

The direction was quickly determined, and we combined natural materials: silk from the dormant stocks of a prominent fashion designer and thick 100% organic cotton canvas. We chose the pattern placements together.

A wonderful collaboration resulted in this bag that skillfully blends whimsy and sophistication.

Thank you, Marie, it's splendid, and it will be perfect for this autumn. Thank you very much, and surely until next time.

Common questions

What's the difference between 'Essentials' and fully bespoke?

Both options use your fabric, benefit from the same care, and come with the same level of support. The difference is the starting point.

The Essentials
These are tried-and-tested pre-designed models (crossbody, coin purse, tote, slippers...) that I personalise with your materials. The silhouette is set; you choose the textiles, colours, and finishes. Perfect if you don't have a specific shape in mind yet, or if you want to keep a tighter rein on your budget. The result is still unique, because your fabrics are.

Fully bespoke
Everything is open: the shape, size, carry style, pockets, materials, threads, hardware... You can come with an existing pattern, a sketch, an inspiration photo, or just a vague idea to explore together. It's the most open-ended option, and therefore the most personal.

In both cases, we start with a discovery call so I can understand your fabric, your needs, and your vision. And in both cases, almost anything is possible.

"What if I’m disappointed? / I’ve had a bad experience before"

Every project is approved step by step with a detailed quote, photos, and regular updates.
Nothing is started without your agreement, ensuring a result that meets your expectations.

What if I have no idea what model I want?

No worries! I don’t lack imagination, or experience...
I guide you with questions and will suggest several visual directions (photos, videos, mockups).
