Elsa's babywearing wrap N° : SM-031

Elsa wanted a round backpack that could be worn in multiple ways and had plenty of storage. Once the pattern was chosen, and after numerous adventures, this highly technical backpack now accompanies her on most of her outings.

Elsa wanted a round backpack that could be worn in multiple ways and had plenty of storage.
After I presented several pattern options, her choice settled on this flap model, which is convertible and features a zippered compartment at the bottom.

The initially chosen babywearing wrap scrap didn't arrive on time (due to the Ukrainian conflict), so we selected another one that she liked just as much. It complements the 100% organic cotton canvas and the originally chosen gold hardware beautifully.

This is the story of a pair of snakeskin boots that had been sitting bored in its cardboard box for several years... and of how it transformed in a beautiful and useful bag that I enjoy everyday.

Silvia's vision

I was so honored to be able to make a custom shoulder bag for one of my favorite babywearing brands' spokesmodel, Silvia. From choosing fabrics and hardware to the very last stitch, we worked hand in hand and I took incredible pleasure in crafting this beautiful piece, one of my finest ones to date.

Common questions

Can I order a bespoke transformation as a gift for someone?

Yes — and it's one of the most thoughtful gifts I've seen people give.

Offering someone a piece made from a fabric that belongs to them (or that belonged to a loved one) is a rare and deeply considered gesture. It takes a little organisation, but it's entirely doable.

A few practical points:

  • You contact me and manage the whole project — the recipient doesn't need to be involved if you want to keep the surprise;
  • You'll need to get hold of the fabric discreetly;
  • I can help you choose the right model if you're unsure what would suit the person best;
  • A thoughtful gift wrap can be arranged on request.

Tell me about your idea during a discovery call, and together we'll imagine something truly unforgettable.

What's the difference between 'Essentials' and fully bespoke?

Both options use your fabric, benefit from the same care, and come with the same level of support — the difference is the starting point.

The Essentials
These are tried-and-tested pre-designed models (crossbody, coin purse, tote, slippers...) that I personalise with your materials. The silhouette is set; you choose the textiles, colours, and finishes. Perfect if you don't have a specific shape in mind yet, or if you want to keep a tighter rein on your budget. The result is still unique, because your fabrics are.

Fully bespoke
Everything is open: the shape, size, carry style, pockets, materials, threads, hardware... You can come with an existing pattern, a sketch, an inspiration photo, or just a vague idea to explore together. It's the most open-ended option — and therefore the most personal.

In both cases, we start with a discovery call so I can understand your fabric, your needs, and your vision. And in both cases, almost anything is possible.

"I can’t picture it / I don’t know what I want"

I can send samples, provide sketches or diagrams, and discuss via video call or at the studio to clarify your wishes.
Together we refine every detail until we find the shape, material, and colors that truly reflect you.
