Marie A.'s boots N° : SM-000

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.

📖👢🐍 This is the story of a pair of snakeskin boots that had been sitting bored in its cardboard box for several years.
✨ It dreamed of another life where it could once again enjoy the daylight.
🤰🏻 But its owner, formerly a young and slim Parisian with a bustling social life, had since become a Mom... in the countryside.

💁🏻‍♀️ This pair of boots was mine, and today, thanks to my vision and expertise, they are thriving and living their best life in the form of this lovely little bag... which I also enjoy!

It's my everyday bag, compact yet practical, stylish and assertive, both chic and edgy... I love it!

Common questions

Do you offer support for a wedding, before, during or after the ceremony?

Yes, a wedding is a moment I can support at several stages.

Before or during the ceremony, we can create a fashion or décor piece carrying the presence of an absent or deceased parent, or matching pieces where each partner wears a little of the other's fabric. Afterwards, the dress or suit can become a bag, a wallet or, if you'd rather have something to display than to wear, a Kinusaiga panel: the wedding fabrics take the shape of a wall piece, to keep on display in your home rather than folded away in a garment bag.

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.

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).
