Samples
A special opportunity to purchase unique, one-of-a-kind handmade garments. These pieces are either prototypes or final samples, and each item showcases the craft and care that goes into every handmade piece.
Handmade with care, designed to be cherished
Each garment in this collection is a one-of-a-kind piece, made during the creative process of developing my sewing patterns. These are the actual samples and prototypes I’ve sewn myself, pieces that tell the story of how each TintofmintPATTERNS design comes to life.
Every item is handmade in my studio on the French Riviera, available in just one size, and offered at a special price. Once sold, it won’t be restocked, making your piece truly unique.
By choosing one of these garments, you’re not only owning something special but also supporting slow fashion and the belief that handmade is better than mass-made.
Why these pieces are special
Each sample in this collection was created as part of my design process, from early prototypes to final test versions before releasing a new sewing pattern. Some were made to test fit, fabric drape, or finishing techniques. Others are the final photo shoot pieces that appear in my product listings and tutorials.
These garments carry the same attention to detail, craftsmanship, and quality as my finished designs. They represent hours of work, testing, and creativity, and now, they can be yours.
Packed with love, from my studio to your home
Every order is carefully packaged by hand in my small studio. I use eco-friendly materials whenever possible, and I make sure each parcel feels like a thoughtful gift, because that’s exactly what it is.
Buy less, make more, and cherish what’s handmade
In the video, you can show how you fold the garment, add the thank-you card, wrap it gently, and place the final label, all to help people feel the care and attention that goes into their order.
A rare chance to own something truly unique
These garments are available only once there’s just one of each. Once it’s sold, it’s gone forever. Browse the collection below and find your favourite before it disappears.
