I met Florence during the Crafts and Creation Market in Annonay, in the middle of August.

She had a very specific request. I didn't have anything like that on my stand, but that's the beauty of custom-made: she came back to me with the details of her request, and we brainstormed together the best way to meet it.

I proposed several sketches, and then we chose from my stock the materials she liked the most through numerous photos and videos.

I then created a prototype and a final version that I sent to her, along with a pouch from my stock that she had decided to give to her daughter for Christmas.

The pouch will be given for Christmas. It is beautiful. And the passport holder is perfect too. [...] Thank you

Marie's babywearing wrap

I searched for this wrap for a long time, and I didn't want to part with it.This leather jacket was the first luxury piece of clothing I had, for my 18th birthday. However, I could no longer use either of them for their original purpose. So, I decided to transform them into objects that would be useful to me and would remind me of the beautiful memories they had stored.

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 if my fabric is damaged?

That’s common, and most of the time it’s not a problem.
We select the usable areas and I complete with premium materials to ensure strength and durability.

Is there a right time to start, or can I take as long as I need?

There's no good or bad time, only your own.

For a babywearing wrap, it can be transformed as soon as babywearing ends, or much later, once you've missed it enough to want to see it in a new form. For a loved one's clothing, there's no rush either: some people contact me a few weeks after a bereavement, others several years later. Take whatever time you need, I'll be here when you're ready.
