Marine was one of my first customers. She asked me for two backpacks, one for her daughter and one for herself, using babywearing wrap scraps she entrusted to me.

For her daughter, a classic backpack with a playful dog pattern in super soft organic cotton, and for herself, a rolltop backpack with beautiful certified organic leather and a Scandinavian patterned babywearing wrap scrap.

Both are connected through the use of a pink lining in poplin and cretonne, both 100% organic cotton, and raspberry-colored 100% organic linen straps.

I sent two scraps to Marie to create two backpacks (for a child and an adult), and they never leave our side.

Common questions

“I’m afraid it won’t be ready in time for an event”

Handmade work takes time: allow 4 to 10 weeks depending on the project. But if you plan far enough ahead, we'll make sure it's ready for the big day.
I can adjust the schedule, suggest a design that fits your deadline, and keep you informed at every step.

I'm clearing out a loved one's home, or passing on family belongings: is this something you can help with too?

Yes, absolutely. This is often a difficult moment: you don't want to throw everything away, but you can't keep it all either, and it's not always obvious what's worth transforming.

To sort through it, we look together at what has the most sentimental value or technical potential (sturdiness, thickness), with photos if that helps. You can send me a selection or bring everything you've found, and we move forward step by step during the discovery call.

How much fabric do I need to provide?

It depends entirely on the piece you choose, but here are some concrete reference points:

  • Pocket mirror (Ocebo'): a 6×6 cm piece is enough;
  • Coin purse, wallet: roughly 20×20 cm to 40×30 cm depending on the model;
  • Clutch, compact crossbody: approximately 40×40 cm to 60×60 cm;
  • Medium-sized bag: from 50×80 cm upwards, depending on the silhouette;
  • Slippers (size EU 38): 21×60 cm for the low version, 55×92 cm for the ankle version;
  • Bomber jacket (size EU 38): 1.1 m × width (65 cm min) without sleeves, 2.2 m with.

A question I often hear about newborns: is a onesie or a small square of baby clothing enough? Yes, more than enough for a small piece (Ocebo', coin purse); for a larger bag, it's completed with a compatible fabric, always with your approval. There's also the Signature finish from the Essentials range, which makes it possible to use several small pieces together.
And of course, several fabrics can be combined too (the same person's clothes from different periods, or several siblings' garments, for example).

The good news: I also work with small pieces. If your fabric is on the tight side, certain finishes allow me to cut in free or geometric shapes and waste almost nothing. We work it out together during the discovery call, before any decisions are made.

And if you're not sure exactly how much fabric you have? Just take a photo, bring it to our first chat, and we'll figure out what's possible.
