Isabelle Crétions artisan seamstress

Isabelle, a passionate woman

– Hello Isabelle, thank you for having me. Before presenting your creations, could you tell us a little more about yourself, your background and your inspirations?

“I’ve lived in Martinique since 2001, and consider myself a true Martinican by adoption! Passionate about embroidery and sewing, I decided to make it my profession and launch myself into design. I’ve been drawing since I was a little girl, and I’ve always lived surrounded by fabrics! I come from a family of Lyonnais silk weavers, which is where I think my taste for aesthetics and refinement comes from! I started sewing as a retoucher for a Lyonnais designer renowned for his luxury ready-to-wear. This enabled me to work with beautiful materials such as silk and Calais lace. This experience was a great opportunity to learn and to set high standards. In 2007, I opened my own workshop, “Isabelle Créations” , because I could feel the demand and because, quite simply, I love it! “

Her workshop is overflowing with colorful fabrics, terrycloth, madras, bags, accessories and large professional machines!

When it comes to patterns, madras is always popular, and I have my fabrics printed in Lyon, so I have a wide range of colors! “

  • Handmade bags range

Ixora, Micata, Filao, Green blade… collections in various shapes (shoulder, clutch, half-moon…) and materials (cotton, linen, lace, printed fabrics…).

Green Blade

Isabelle is very demanding when it comes to the origin of her materials, and her concern for the environment (fabric scraps are always recycled!) has led her to create pieces in green blade(banana fiber), an eco-responsible alternative to wood. Banana trees are rapidly renewable, growing back every 9 months, unlike trees. Production requires neither water nor glue! Isabelle uses it for a range of elegant, original bags and accessories.

Custom embroidery

“Of course, I continue to make alterations and even garments, especially for ceremonies. Embroidery is almost inseparable from my work, and you can see my 3 embroidery machines! People appreciate being able to offer unique gifts by having their first name, date of birth or a drawing embroidered…” For professionals, Isabelle can embroider your company, association or club logos on a variety of materials (T-shirts, shirts, caps…).

The best-selling bath cape

by Isabelle Créations

“I started with the bath cape, which remains a best-seller for all ages, and then developed the children’s ranges. From birth size to adult bath towels, this is my flagship product, fully customizable. I combine a soft terry cloth (minimum 450g) with the fabric and embroidery of your choice. “

Thank you Isabelle for your warm welcome!

As for me, I took the opportunity to buy a pretty birth trousseau for the latest addition to the family, a little coated cotton pouch for my make-up and a kitchen apron for my mom!

Where can I find Isabelle Créations? Isabelle can welcome you by appointment at her workshop, where there is a wide choice of items.
