Artisanat d'Art Made in France

🔁 After meeting Delphine at a Bouge ta Boîte entrepreneurs' meeting, and completing a first project for her parents, she came back to me for a project just for herself.

👛 She had a Cabaïa backpack to which she wanted to add a removable pouch. She wanted to bring meaning into her daily life and pay tribute to her grandmother.
🧥👜 So, she entrusted me with her grandmother's leather satchel, the remnants of her father's Compagnons jacket lining that were used in her previous project, and an insignia from her grandfather's felted wool beret... all pieces full of stories and very inspiring.

✏️ We discussed her needs and desires at the workshop, such as having a pouch larger than the original one. I analyzed the pouch's construction to replicate it as closely as possible and offered her sketches of different versions.

🪡 Once she had chosen the final design, I assembled a few prototypes to ensure the technique and look were right before touching her sentimental materials. I then carefully dismantled her grandmother's bag, cut and prepared the pieces from the least damaged sections, and assembled everything.
She came to pick it up and try it at the workshop, we took a few photos, and she left happy and well-equipped!

This is the second time I’ve turned to Marie for a personal project, and I’m just as thrilled as ever! 🤩
The pouch, created from my grandmother’s old satchel, fits perfectly with my Cabaïa bag. A huge bravo to her, because the satchel was really in very poor condition! 👏🏻

Marie initially bought a pair of children's booties from me that I had sewn for my shop, then asked me to make a pair of booties for her... Finally, two pairs of matching low-cut slippers for her husband, who was jealous of hers, and their youngest to have ones “like daddy's.“
