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.

The bomber jacket was even the very first one I created. I wore it a lot, and I will wear it again when I've lost weight...
I chose the expandable crossbody bag for its versatility and the ability to carry all my belongings with ease and style. I even reused the lining of the jacket!
The wallet was an opportunity to have fun with a reverse appliqué cut. It's in my crossbody bag every time I take it.

Common questions

"It’s too expensive"

Each piece is unique: imagined and handcrafted in my studio in France.
The price reflects the technical skill, premium materials, and the uniqueness of an artwork designed to last and keep its aesthetic strength. A true favorite like this is cherished for years.

Can I transform the clothes of a loved one who has passed away, as part of grieving?

Yes, and these are among the most deeply moving projects I get to work on.

Your father's jacket, your grandmother's coat, the jumper you can't bring yourself to give away because it still smells a little like her... These fabrics carry something irreplaceable. Transforming them into an everyday object means giving them life again without erasing them, and for many people, this is part of the grieving process itself: the memory is no longer folded away in a drawer, it's worn, or displayed.

I approach these projects with particular care: we take time to talk about the person, the story behind the fabric, what you want to preserve and how. The finished piece isn't just a bag: it's an object that continues to bear witness.

And if several family members each want a keepsake made from the same garment? That's possible too. One piece of fabric can give birth to several different pieces, for several different people. We look at what the material can offer, together, without wasting any of it.

Can I combine fabrics from different people in the same piece?

Absolutely, and it can be extraordinarily beautiful.

Blending your grandfather's jacket with your grandmother's scarf in one bag, weaving together fabrics from three generations in a clutch... these assemblages carry something powerfully symbolic, and they often produce visually rich and unexpected results.

The only constraints are technical: the fabrics need to be compatible with each other (durability, thickness, structure), and each piece needs to be large enough for the planned cuts. But by playing with finishes (flat panels, patchwork, geometric or organic shapes), we can often work with small pieces and still create something coherent.

We take stock together during the discovery call, looking at your fabrics and imagining the possibilities. Bring everything you have!
