Its story

This cute little pouch is both compact and spacious.
I wanted this version to be playful and chic, with a strong sensory appeal. So, I combined materials with very contrasting textures and colors but with a common thread of softness: rescued leathers from High Leather Goods, and scraps from a babywearing wrap.

“Gump” is one of the 5 pieces from the “Poisson d'Avril” (April's Fool) collection, born from an impulse when Shamballa Bags released this adorable pouch pattern that inspired me a lot. In search of whimsy, I got sucked in and immediately imagined the most incredible combinations of materials and colors:
✹ mirror leather, metallic bouclĂ©, faux leather, sequins, high-couture denim, synthetic fur, sequined tulle, cork on cotton, satin, linen

🎹 gold, rainbow, silver, copper, turquoise, sage, fuchsia


đŸ€© A feast for the eyes and the senses!

Common questions

Are your products authentic?

All my creations are numbered and come with an identity card that includes the type, model, version, number, detailed materials list, and care instructions.
I'd been working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, but I finally decided against it (for a host of reasons I might write an article about someday).

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends and public holidays). The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).

What materials do you use to make my pieces?

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig
); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc “leather”)
 No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend

  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex

  • Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow
 Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork
 in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
How do you ship?

Delivery of your order is an essential part of my customer service. I strive to provide you with a reliable, fast, and convenient delivery experience, so you can quickly enjoy your purchases.

Once your order is placed, I ensure that your items are carefully packaged and prepared for shipping. I choose the most suitable packaging options to protect your products during transportation.
My pieces are thoughtfully wrapped and shipped in upcycled cardboard boxes (read more).

Each bag is protected by its custom-made satin drawstring pouch, made from 100% organic cotton satin or 100% linen fabric, and closed with a 100% organic cotton cord, that I custom-make specifically for each bag.
Wallets and other small items are wrapped in tissue paper, either new (locally and sustainably produced) or recycled depending on their size.

I offer free shipping to France. For all other destinations, I aim to maintain competitive and transparent shipping costs. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight, size of your package, and the destination to provide you with the fairest pricing possible.

Whether it's standard, express, or international delivery, I work with reliable carriers (Colissimo or Mondial Relay) to ensure the delivery of your package within the estimated timeframes, with tracking and insurance. If you wish to use other shipping providers like FedEx or UPS, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222 so I can calculate a cost estimate for you.

Charlotte’s baby wrap

After ordering a bag from stock, Charlotte realized it would be too small. I offered to make her a custom, larger version, and she sent me her baby wrap to transform.
