Élodie's offcuts N° : SM-028 , SM-029

In order to better organize her bag, Élodie was looking for a wallet, and I suggested the Embarq'Tout which seemed to perfectly meet her needs.

In order to better organize her bag, Élodie was looking for a wallet, and I suggested the “Embarq'Tout,” which seemed to perfectly meet her needs.
She also wanted a horizontal checkbook holder, which isn't so common.

Once the patterns were confirmed, she entrusted me with the fabrics she had thrifted, and I ordered cork on cotton to complement.

The scraps remained with me and allowed me to create other beautiful pieces, inspired, in my workshop.

Élodie's babywearing wrap scrap

One year after ordering a custom-made Bowler-style bag from me, inspired by the version that came out of my creative workshop, Élodie wanted another one in different materials. It is after all a bag that is both chic and highly functional.

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).

I'm clearing out a loved one's home, or passing on family belongings: is this something you can help with too?

Yes, absolutely. This is often a difficult moment: you don't want to throw everything away, but you can't keep it all either, and it's not always obvious what's worth transforming.

To sort through it, we look together at what has the most sentimental value or technical potential (sturdiness, thickness), with photos if that helps. You can send me a selection or bring everything you've found, and we move forward step by step during the discovery call.

What happens to my fabric during and after the transformation?

Your fabric is precious — I know that, and I treat it accordingly.

During the transformation, I only use what's needed for the piece we agreed on. Offcuts come back to you. I always tuck them into your return parcel, unless you tell me to keep or dispose of them.

In practice:

  • You send me your fabric (the whole garment, or the section you want transformed);
  • I work from your piece, making the most of every centimetre in a thoughtful way;
  • Any remaining offcuts travel back home with your finished creation.

If your fabric is very small or choices need to be made (where to position a motif, which section to prioritise), we talk it through before any cutting happens. Nothing is cut without prior agreement.
