Clémence's babywearing wrap scrap N° : SM-025

Clémence contacted me to repurpose one of her babywearing wrap coupons into a bag model she had seen in my inventory. A wonderful collaboration resulted in this bag that skillfully blends whimsy and sophistication.

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.

Florence's wishes

I met Florence during the Crafts and Creation Market in Annonay, in the middle of August. She had a very specific request. We brainstormed the best pattern and optimal materials, and by Christmas, she had her ideal passport holder and another pouch for her daughter.

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.

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.

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.
