Marine was one of my first customers. She asked me for two backpacks, one for her daughter and one for herself, using babywearing wrap scraps she entrusted to me.

For her daughter, a classic backpack with a playful dog pattern in super soft organic cotton, and for herself, a rolltop backpack with beautiful certified organic leather and a Scandinavian patterned babywearing wrap scrap.

Both are connected through the use of a pink lining in poplin and cretonne, both 100% organic cotton, and raspberry-colored 100% organic linen straps.

I sent two scraps to Marie to create two backpacks (for a child and an adult), and they never leave our side.

Stéphanie's heart-stopper

Stephanie fell in love with a bag I'd shown her in a discussion around an online LinkedIn challenge, and decided to get one made in her favorite colors for Christmas. After choosing the materials from my stock together, I quickly made it so she'd have it in time under the tree. This fun and exciting collaboration resulted in this daring and classy shoulder bag.

Common questions

"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.

Can I follow the making of my piece as it happens?

You get to choose, and it's a genuine decision to make at the start of the project.

Full updates with photos: I send you photos and sometimes videos at each key stage: cutting, assembly, finishing. You see your fabric come to life step by step. Some people love this. Others find it only makes the waiting harder!

Total surprise: I work away quietly, you see nothing until you open the parcel. For those who want the sense of wonder to be fully intact, right through to the last moment.

Something in between works too: a message after the cutting stage, a photo mid-way, then the surprise finale.

Whatever you choose, one thing I promise: if something along the way needs your input (a motif placement decision, an unexpected colour choice), I'll reach out. You will never be faced with a fait accompli on anything that matters.

Can my fabric really be transformed?

Most materials (leather, wool, babywearing wraps, a loved one's clothing, sports jerseys or activewear, baby clothes and comfort toys, a wedding dress or suit
) can be reused.
During the call, I'll clearly tell you what's feasible, or not.
