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 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).

Are technical fabrics (sport, dance, running) as sturdy as a classic fabric once transformed?

It depends on the fabric, but in most cases, yes. The stretch and fineness of some of these materials (lycra, softshell or technical jersey, for example) are actually an asset for Kinusaiga panels, and conversely, they're compensated for very well in leatherwork with reinforcements (interfacing, lining), just like any other delicate textile. These fabrics also tend to have excellent resistance to abrasion and friction, which is a real plus for bags and wallets.

We talk it through together during the discovery call.

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.
