Nathalie's favorite NĀ° : SM-059

Nathalie needed a large backpack for her work laptop and had a very specific idea of the materials to use to reproduce her favorite 'in stock' find into a custom creation.

šŸŽ’ Nathalie is a former colleague from the time when I was making websites... She contacted me after falling in love with one of my bags in stock, but it turned out to be too small for her need to carry her very large laptop. šŸ”Ž No problem, we searched, found, and adapted the perfect pattern, which I then made in the combination of materials she liked so much and luckily I still had some pieces left. šŸŖ” After a few ā€œadventuresā€ for which I thank her for not holding it against me, the bag was finally at her place, seduced her cat, and accompanied her brilliantly on a business trip for a test run... and now in her daily life!

Hi, I received it, it's beautiful !! [ā€¦] this bag is great, it's beautiful, it's both rigid and lightweight, I'm delighted :)) It's a great job !! [ā€¦] this bag is very big, everything fits in it, it's cool. And then it stands upright when I put it down, it always surprises me.

Common questions

Can I order a bespoke transformation as a gift for someone?

Yes, and it's one of the most thoughtful gifts I've seen people give.

Offering someone a piece made from a fabric that belongs to them (or that belonged to a loved one) is a rare and deeply considered gesture. It takes a little organisation, but it's entirely doable.

A few practical points:

  • You contact me and manage the whole project: the recipient doesn't need to be involved if you want to keep the surprise;
  • You'll need to get hold of the fabric discreetly;
  • I can help you choose the right model if you're unsure what would suit the person best;
  • A thoughtful gift wrap can be arranged on request.

Tell me about your idea during a discovery call, and together we'll imagine something truly unforgettable.
