Its story

I'd been looking for an excuse to get and make this pattern for a long while, with its interesting shapes and opportunities for contrasts.

After a client entrusted me with her scrap of Oakenshield for a full custom bag, she decided to let me have the remaining small scrap and the pattern on it just called to that pattern's pointy flap.

I decided to make it as a continuity of that bag and used the same purple faux leather. I added small scraps of another goldish faux leather, and used some scraps of deep violet satin and some mustard colored flax light canvas.
Inside, as a reminder of the outside wrap scrap itself, I wanted to have a play of contrasts in both the colors and the materials, one being very shiny and soft, and the other more raw and nubby.

Bright gold hardware gives it an air of sophistication and makes this piece an elegant and practical wallet for you to carry in your bag or by itself thanks to its removable wrist strap.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (original price 360€) because of a discreet (only visible when opened) topstitching accident, only aesthetic as it's been secured; and the faux leather scrap I reclaimed had a defect, visible on the back. See last two penultimate pictures.

What materials do you use to make my pieces?

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc ā€œleatherā€)… No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
  • Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow… Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.

Payment security is an absolute priority on my website. I understand the importance of trust in online transactions, which is why I make every effort to provide you with a secure and reliable payment environment.
Payment is secured by SnipCart, a reputable payment service provider, an expert in online transaction security.

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

Charlotte’s baby wrap

After ordering a bag from stock, Charlotte realized it would be too small. I offered to make her a custom, larger version, and she sent me her baby wrap to transform.
