5 out of 5 starsI am a cyclist and a crafter. This captures both my loves! Well made and personalized to my bike color! Shipping took a couple of weeks, though, since mailing from Italy! The STAMPS were an unforeseen treasure!

5 out of 5 starsMy "custom made" bicycle cushion is perfect! It is very much like the color of my bicycle! It is a convenient small size and NO one else has one like this! It did take about a month in transit as it was coming all the way from ITALY! Wow! I have an Italian made pin cushion!!!

5 out of 5 starsI received this item very quickly and it's very well crafted and prettily constructed. The seller MadameRenard / Silvia is friendly, talkative, good-mannered and intensely involved in her handicraft. I like people like this, we could be friends and colleagues! The crocheted pouch is a gift for my sister and I look forward to offer it to her at Christmas time! ;)

I was born in a small town in northern Italy, but now I live with my lovely man in Sicily. I have a degree in history of art and I am a teacher and a tourist guide. I like nature and beautiful things. I try to live an ecofriendly life!
Shop policies
Here you can find my textile creations, handmade with care by me in unique pieces.
I'm doing my best to live an eco-friendly life close to nature, so I sew my bags and accessories using recycled, vintage and eco-friendly fabrics, mixed sometimes to other kinds of materials (handmade felt, crocheted cotton, recycled leather, vintage bottons and zippers from my family collection).
You'll find in the shop some objects embroidered by me following my own embroidery designs and some other with crocheted details.
I design my products by myself, inspired by seasons, nature, animals, plants and their colors. I'm not influenced by temporary fashion trends: I try to make lasting products!
Sometimes I realize my bags following patterns made by other designers: I always write it in descriptions.
MY MATERIALS
I like to recycle old fabrics and save them from the trash can. By recycling, you can make things without wasting our planet's resources to have new materials!
I think this is a good way to respect our planet.
But recycling doesn't mean carelessness! I always wash my fabrics before using them and I use them only when in perfect conditions.
My recycled fabrics are often from upholstery sample books: they are usually destined to the trash can, but I save them before ending their life in this way!
My vintage fabrics are gifts: relatives and friends are so kind to give me old fabrics and other materials they have at home instead to throw them away!
Sometime I have the opportunity to use organic fabrics and I always write it in items' description.
Wool and leather come from animals and I use it only when recycled or very old (I don't want to support the kill of animals to make my creations).
Please take a peek at my policies below to make your experience in my shop easy and pleasing.
