Marion's favorite N° : SM-062

At the end of 2023, I offered to make Marion a custom piece using a fabric she had admired in my shop to thank her for graciously allowing me to test her coaching services. A piece that fits her like a glove and perfectly embodies her style and personality.

🍓 I met Marion during a LinkedIn challenge called “Ramen Ta Fraise” in November 2023.
She was looking for volunteers to test her new professional coaching support in exchange for honest feedback and public appreciation, I had never done coaching before and was curious.
We talked, and I immediately clicked with her.

💞 Seeing the obvious value in what I was discovering about her program, I didn't want to just leave it at that without offering her a more “substantial” compensation.
I asked her what would make her happy, she confessed to having had a big crush on the fabric from the “Toutes des Icônes” duo, of which luckily I had a few scraps left.

👛 So naturally, I offered to make her a wallet/card holder, I had a unique model in mind and the remaining scraps were just the right size.

🪡 I got to work and just before Christmas, she received her piece, which hit the spot.

👌🏻 When we talked about it later, she told me something that made me really happy: when her sister saw it, she said “I don't like it at all, but if I had to guess who it belongs to, I would have said you without hesitation”… a sign that it is exactly where it belongs and reflects her personality and tastes.

✨ I love that my pieces resemble you and don't leave anyone indifferent.
Making you resonate is my passion, enabling you to proudly carry your stories is my mission.

What a lovely Christmas gift! Thank you 🙏 I just got home and I'm delighted! It's really beautiful, congratulations on your work and thank you for your trust! 😊

Florence's wishes

I met Florence during the Crafts and Creation Market in Annonay, in the middle of August. She had a very specific request. We brainstormed the best pattern and optimal materials, and by Christmas, she had her ideal passport holder and another pouch for her daughter.

Common questions

“What if I’m disappointed? / I’ve had a bad experience before”

Every project is approved step by step with a detailed quote, photos, and regular updates.
Nothing is started without your agreement, ensuring a result that meets your expectations.

Can I combine fabrics from different people in the same piece?

Absolutely, and it can be extraordinarily beautiful.

Blending your grandfather's jacket with your grandmother's scarf in one bag, weaving together fabrics from three generations in a clutch... these assemblages carry something powerfully symbolic, and they often produce visually rich and unexpected results.

The only constraints are technical: the fabrics need to be compatible with each other (durability, thickness, structure), and each piece needs to be large enough for the planned cuts. But by playing with finishes (flat panels, patchwork, geometric or organic shapes), we can often work with small pieces and still create something coherent.

We take stock together during the discovery call, looking at your fabrics and imagining the possibilities. Bring everything you have!

Can I follow the making of my piece as it happens?

You get to choose, and it's a genuine decision to make at the start of the project.

Full updates with photos: I send you photos and sometimes videos at each key stage: cutting, assembly, finishing. You see your fabric come to life step by step. Some people love this. Others find it only makes the waiting harder!

Total surprise: I work away quietly, you see nothing until you open the parcel. For those who want the sense of wonder to be fully intact, right through to the last moment.

Something in between works too: a message after the cutting stage, a photo mid-way, then the surprise finale.

Whatever you choose, one thing I promise: if something along the way needs your input (a motif placement decision, an unexpected colour choice), I'll reach out. You will never be faced with a fait accompli on anything that matters.
