Déborah's babywearing wrap scrap N° : SM-026

Déborah contacted me to discuss her project, and over the months, we managed to refine it: a large messenger bag that can be worn in several different ways, with plenty of storage and a central space divided in two.

Déborah contacted me to discuss her project, and over the months, we managed to refine it: a large messenger bag that can be worn in several different ways, with plenty of storage and a central space divided in two.
So, I modified a pattern that already came as close as possible to this very specific request.

She entrusted me with her coupon as well as fabrics filled with memories of her vacation in Tahiti, from where she had brought them back. I took great pleasure in this rather technical creation and the combination of colors far from my own universe.

Déborah, in turn, enjoyed receiving it:

It's superb, thank you very much <3 I'll show it off at work next week, hahaha! I love the result with the Tahitian fabric lining; it's really great.

Common questions

Can my fabric really be transformed?

Most materials (leather, wool, babywearing wraps, a loved one's clothing, sports jerseys or activewear, baby clothes and comfort toys, a wedding dress or suit…) can be reused.
During the call, I'll clearly tell you what's feasible, or not.

"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.
