Marion's favorite N° : SM-062

At the end of 2023, I offered to make Marion a custom piece using a fabric she had admired in my shop to thank her for graciously allowing me to test her coaching services. A piece that fits her like a glove and perfectly embodies her style and personality.

🍓 I met Marion during a LinkedIn challenge called “Ramen Ta Fraise” in November 2023.
She was looking for volunteers to test her new professional coaching support in exchange for honest feedback and public appreciation, I had never done coaching before and was curious.
We talked, and I immediately clicked with her.

💞 Seeing the obvious value in what I was discovering about her program, I didn't want to just leave it at that without offering her a more “substantial” compensation.
I asked her what would make her happy, she confessed to having had a big crush on the fabric from the “Toutes des Icînes” duo, of which luckily I had a few scraps left.

👛 So naturally, I offered to make her a wallet/card holder, I had a unique model in mind and the remaining scraps were just the right size.

đŸȘĄ I got to work and just before Christmas, she received her piece, which hit the spot.

đŸ‘ŒđŸ» When we talked about it later, she told me something that made me really happy: when her sister saw it, she said “I don't like it at all, but if I had to guess who it belongs to, I would have said you without hesitation”
 a sign that it is exactly where it belongs and reflects her personality and tastes.

✹ I love that my pieces resemble you and don't leave anyone indifferent.
Making you resonate is my passion, enabling you to proudly carry your stories is my mission.

What a lovely Christmas gift! Thank you 🙏 I just got home and I'm delighted! It's really beautiful, congratulations on your work and thank you for your trust! 😊

Common questions

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).

How much fabric do I need to provide?

It depends entirely on the piece you choose, but here are some concrete reference points:

  • Pocket mirror (Ocebo'): a 6×6 cm piece is enough;
  • Coin purse, wallet: roughly 20×20 cm to 40×30 cm depending on the model;
  • Clutch, compact crossbody: approximately 40×40 cm to 60×60 cm;
  • Medium-sized bag: from 50×80 cm upwards, depending on the silhouette;
  • Slippers (size EU 38): 21×60 cm for the low version, 55×92 cm for the ankle version;
  • Bomber jacket (size EU 38): 1.1 m × width (65 cm min) without sleeves, 2.2 m with.

A question I often hear about newborns: is a onesie or a small square of baby clothing enough? Yes, more than enough for a small piece (Ocebo', coin purse); for a larger bag, it's completed with a compatible fabric, always with your approval. There's also the Signature finish from the Essentials range, which makes it possible to use several small pieces together.
And of course, several fabrics can be combined too (the same person's clothes from different periods, or several siblings' garments, for example).

The good news: I also work with small pieces. If your fabric is on the tight side, certain finishes allow me to cut in free or geometric shapes and waste almost nothing. We work it out together during the discovery call, before any decisions are made.

And if you're not sure exactly how much fabric you have? Just take a photo, bring it to our first chat, and we'll figure out what's possible.

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.
