Michèle's desire N° : SM-058

Michèle is my mother and one of my earliest supporters. Not only did she occasionally indulge in creations born from my inspiration, but as a lifelong bag enthusiast, she also placed a few custom orders. Recently, she commissioned me for a pair of booties.

Michèle is my mother and one of my earliest supporters. Not only did she occasionally indulge in creations born from my inspiration, but as a lifelong bag enthusiast, she also placed two custom orders. She recently commissioned me for a pair of a pair of warm booties.

Taking measurements, discussing the lining and choosing materials... and there you have a delighted mother who relishes finally having toasty warm feet!

How could it be any different with locally sourced combed wool batting, upcycled upholstery fabric, organic cotton poplin, wool sheet and goat leather soles?

"These slippers are extraordinary, very beautiful, very warm, lightweight, truly delightful to wear. Thank you, Marie, congratulations to you! 👍❤️"

Common questions

What if my textile 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.
Are technical fabrics (sport, dance, running) as sturdy as a classic fabric once transformed?

It depends on the fabric, but in most cases, yes. The stretch and fineness of some of these materials (lycra, softshell or technical jersey, for example) are actually an asset for kinusaiga panels, and conversely, they're compensated for very well in leatherwork with reinforcements (interfacing, lining), just like any other delicate textile. These fabrics also tend to have excellent resistance to abrasion and friction, which is a real plus for bags and wallets.

We talk it through together during the discovery call.

"I’m afraid it won’t be ready in time for an event"
Artisanal creation takes time, but I can adjust the schedule, advise a design compatible with your deadline, and keep you informed at every step.
For ready-to-ship pieces, I ship within 12 hours and can arrange express delivery (Colissimo free of charge, Chronopost 10 a.m. option).
