Alison 's babywearing wrap N° : SM-055

Alison is a textile artist for whom I made a custom bag as a thank-you for the works she created for the children of a lost friend, as a tribute to her.

Alison is a textile artist who works with small scraps of baby wraps to create colorful and original artworks.
I had commissioned a piece from her using scraps from a friend we lost the previous year (a friend who had planned to contact her before passing unexpectedly). Alison went further by creating several pieces for each of her children (ensuring no one was left out), all free of charge, moved by their story.

I absolutely wanted to thank her, so I suggested an exchange of skills: mine for hers, through the creation of a custom-made piece using her sentimental materials.
She chose a shoulder bag model and sent me a baby wrap and lining fabric, both inspired by the Lord of the Rings universe.
We selected a faux leather in a fun complementary shade and gold hardware for a chic touch, and I got to work.

Success on arrival:

It's here and it's amazing I absolutely love it!!! [...] It looks amazing thank you 💜💜 [...] My purse goes so well with it 💜👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Common questions

“It’s too expensive”

Each piece is unique: imagined and handcrafted in my studio in France.
The price reflects the technical skill, premium materials, and the uniqueness of an artwork designed to last and keep its aesthetic strength. A true favorite like this is cherished for years.

“I’m afraid to cut into a sentimental fabric. What if I regret it?”

It’s natural to feel that hesitation. We work together to honor your story.
Each step is validated (photos, video call), and nothing is irreversible until you give the green light.

What happens to my fabric during and after the transformation?

Your fabric is precious, I know that, and I treat it accordingly.

During the transformation, I only use what's needed for the piece we agreed on. Offcuts come back to you. I always tuck them into your return parcel, unless you tell me to keep or dispose of them.

In practice:

  • You send me your fabric (the whole garment, or the section you want transformed);
  • I work from your piece, making the most of every centimetre in a thoughtful way;
  • Any remaining offcuts travel back home with your finished creation.

If your fabric is very small or choices need to be made (where to position a motif, which section to prioritise), we talk it through before any cutting happens. Nothing is cut without prior agreement.
