Fibre Libre - Articles

Fibre Libre is an invitation to give meaning back to materials—to create beauty from what is often forgotten. Did you know that most sheep wool in Belgium is thrown away every year? Faced with this reality, Fibre Libre chooses another path: to reclaim, transform, and elevate. In her workshop, this committed maker handcrafts useful, tactile objects using natural fibres and upcycled textiles. Local wool plays a central role, with all its character: soft, raw, and warm. Other natural materials enrich the palette—linen, wicker, vintage cotton, and seasonal plant fibres gathered here and there. Each creation tells a story: of a saved material, of a revived gesture, of a process rooted in deep respect for nature. Whether it's felted baskets, everyday accessories or poetic, practical items, everything is made to last, to be passed on, and to awaken the senses. Fibre Libre blends softness, simplicity and raw beauty. It's a sincere aesthetic, a strong commitment, and a desire to return to essentials. Nothing is left to chance: techniques are mastered, materials are locally sourced, natural dyes are preferred, and the artisan’s hand is always visible. Giving or receiving a Fibre Libre creation is a meaningful act. It supports craft that respects nature’s rhythm, values local resources, and transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary. Because the most beautiful objects are those with a soul—and every material deserves a second chance.
