Aline entrusted me with her two favorite pouches that she had kept from the « Gamin Gamine » subscription box she had for her son, with the mission of creating a « mini » version of the « En Ville » Zip Card and Coin Holder. The result is a small wallet with warm and soft colors, featuring a cream Vichy exterior and a brick-colored double gauze cotton interior. It is practical with its 6 card slots, a central zip pocket, and a three-sided metal zipper closure.

Here's what she had to say about it:

Marie was very attentive to my request, she is extremely professional. And, of course, I am more than delighted with the result! I highly recommend it!

Common questions

What if my fabric 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.

“I can’t afford it”

As standard, payment is already split into 3.
And if that's still tight, we can spread it out further: let's talk.

What's the difference between 'Essentials' and fully bespoke?

Both options use your fabric, benefit from the same care, and come with the same level of support. The difference is the starting point.

The Essentials
These are tried-and-tested pre-designed models (crossbody, coin purse, tote, slippers...) that I personalise with your materials. The silhouette is set; you choose the textiles, colours, and finishes. Perfect if you don't have a specific shape in mind yet, or if you want to keep a tighter rein on your budget. The result is still unique, because your fabrics are.

Fully bespoke
Everything is open: the shape, size, carry style, pockets, materials, threads, hardware... You can come with an existing pattern, a sketch, an inspiration photo, or just a vague idea to explore together. It's the most open-ended option, and therefore the most personal.

In both cases, we start with a discovery call so I can understand your fabric, your needs, and your vision. And in both cases, almost anything is possible.
