A Beautiful Object

The back carries a piece of sentimental fabric (babywearing wrap or other) — match it to your outfit, your mood, or your carrier.
The body, all soft curves, in light, supple and durable leather, sits perfectly in your hand.

Craftsmanship & Quality

  • Laser design, engraving and cutting by me;
  • Assembly and finishing in my studio;
  • Body in high-quality upcycled leather.

Safety & autonomy

It also works to check your carrier setup (wrap or structured carrier)… even alone, even with a dead phone battery. And it clips just as well to a stroller or car seat.

Shockproof acrylic mirror, pacifier clip meeting childcare safety standards, optional.

Entirely Custom-Made

To make it perfectly suited to your tastes, needs and budget, choose:

  • Your sentimental fabric (entrusting me with your own, choosing from my stock, or asking me to find it for you);
  • The leather for the body: wide variety of colours and finishes;
  • As an option: a Heimess pacifier clip and/or a protective pouch.

What comes after babywearing?

Your mirror grows with you.

Babywearing ends, but your Coucou Hibou can keep accompanying you.
I can transform it into a pocket mirror Ocebo': a leather protective flap covers the mirror to protect it. The object changes purpose, but not its story.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to receive my mirror?

On average, allow 1 week, 2 at most, once I've received your fabric. It depends on the complexity of your request (fabric to prepare, chosen options) and my schedule at the time. The quote I send you will include an estimated timeframe.

How does payment work?

Once the quote is accepted, payment is made in 2 instalments: 50% non-refundable deposit at order, 50% upon shipping — unless you'd rather pay in full. By card or bank transfer, upon receipt of a proper invoice.

How do I care for the leather?

The upcycled leather needs no special care day-to-day: just avoid soaking it or leaving it in direct sunlight for too long, as it can fade. For stains, a lightly damp cloth is usually enough. Not sure about your piece? Email me at hello@marie-alhomme.com.

Can I use it even when I'm not babywearing?

Of course — you can keep it in your changing bag, in the car, or simply in your everyday bag... but in that case, the next question will interest you a lot!

What's the difference with the Ocebo'?

The Coucou Hibou is designed for babywearing: a flat mirror that clips onto your wrap or carrier via the pacifier clip.
The Ocebo', on the other hand, is a pocket mirror with a pivoting leather flap that protects it.
It's actually the transformation I offer once babywearing ends: your Coucou Hibou becomes an Ocebo', without losing its story.

Marie made me a babywearing mirror from a wrap coupon I sent her.
She offered me several options and the work was beautifully finished.
