Emeline wanted a wallet made from a coupon for which she already had other plans, with very specific ideas about the colors of the complementary fabrics and a desire to use the most noble materials possible.

So, I found an incredibly charming vintage French-made zipper with a cotton ribbon and a coin slider (in francs!) whose color matched perfectly with her scrap.
For the interior and lining, beautiful poplin and padding, both 100% organic cotton, and a washable plastic-free structure.

A little gem that turns heads:

The wallet is perfect; it's just as I wanted, thank you very much. [...] Everyone finds it beautiful, and it creates a small sensation when they notice that it matches the babywearing wrap.

Common questions

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.

"What if I’m disappointed? / I’ve had a bad experience before"

Every project is approved step by step with a detailed quote, photos, and regular updates.
Nothing is started without your agreement, ensuring a result that meets your expectations.

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.
