Ester's mother’s shirt
Ester had recently lost her mother and entrusted me with one of her shirts to honor her memory.
You love it... so why's it stuck in a closet?
Hand me your sentimental fabrics, and I'll turn them into custom fashion and decor pieces — so you get to enjoy them all over again !
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.
Muriel's small birds and jacket

The Storyteller...
The trigger? A blanket, sewn for the arrival of our second child, from fabrics that mattered to our family: my first baby wrap, a t-shirt from my late father, a scrap of my niece's lovey...
That mix of materials and emotions shook me.
That's when I understood that with my hands too, I could tell stories.
Today, I put that know-how at your service: turning the fabrics that matter to you into unique pieces.
I'm Marie, I live in the Loire with my husband and our two children.
And I can't wait to hear what you have to tell me.
Fall in love — today, not someday.
These pieces are all made from leathers and fabrics I've thrifted or rescued myself. Never from what you send me for custom work; that stays yours, always.
Some carry a message — feminism, the planet, politics — others are just plain beautiful.
Every piece is one-of-a-kind, numbered, and ready to adopt.
