Michèle's desire N° : SM-058

Michèle is my mother and one of my earliest supporters. Not only did she occasionally indulge in creations born from my inspiration, but as a lifelong bag enthusiast, she also placed a few custom orders. Recently, she commissioned me for a pair of booties.

Michèle is my mother and one of my earliest supporters. Not only did she occasionally indulge in creations born from my inspiration, but as a lifelong bag enthusiast, she also placed two custom orders. She recently commissioned me for a pair of a pair of warm booties.

Taking measurements, discussing the lining and choosing materials... and there you have a delighted mother who relishes finally having toasty warm feet!

How could it be any different with locally sourced combed wool batting, upcycled upholstery fabric, organic cotton poplin, wool sheet and goat leather soles?

“These slippers are extraordinary, very beautiful, very warm, lightweight, truly delightful to wear. Thank you, Marie, congratulations to you! 👍❤️”

Common questions

Do you offer support for a wedding, before, during or after the ceremony?

Yes, a wedding is a moment I can support at several stages.

Before or during the ceremony, we can create a fashion or décor piece carrying the presence of an absent or deceased parent, or matching pieces where each partner wears a little of the other's fabric. Afterwards, the dress or suit can become a bag, a wallet or, if you'd rather have something to display than to wear, a Kinusaiga panel: the wedding fabrics take the shape of a wall piece, to keep on display in your home rather than folded away in a garment bag.

“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.

What if I have no idea what model I want?

No worries! I don’t lack imagination, or experience...
I guide you with questions and will suggest several visual directions (photos, videos, mockups).
