ā€œMadrasā€ N° CO-185

A hybrid clutch wallet bag made of purple leather and multicolored madras fabric.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory ā€œTout-en-1ā€ is a small, compact hybrid clutch wallet that is practical and stylish. A tribute to the sun and the energy of life.

Its story

ā€œTout-en-1,ā€ where chic meets functionality. Stay organized and elegant!

I love versatile designs that combine multiple uses. This hybrid clutch, which combines a bag (worn at the hip, shoulder, or crossbody) with a fully integrated wallet, allows you to carry all your documents and small items in a stylish and practical way. It can also be slipped into any bag as is.

I picked up this fabric in memory of my trip to Guadeloupe in 2005.
I loved its vibrant and varied colors, its ancestral pattern, and its textured weave that evoke the sun, warmth, smiles, music, exotic fruits, and the beach...

I kept it for a long time before deciding what to do with it, as I didn’t want to make a mistake.
After making a superhero cape for my eldest, I knew I wanted to explore other facets of its personality through a mini collection I called ā€œMadrasā€.

A collection in which I wanted to explore the different interpretations I could bring to this fabric. I therefore chose very different patterns to push this concept as far as possible while broadening my own comfort zone.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

Common questions

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, except for Kinusaiga items (see below). 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.

Kinusaiga items (kits and artworks) have their own rule: within mainland France and Monaco, shipping starts from €4.90 depending on weight; to the French overseas territories, standard Colissimo rates apply. They don't go further on their own, but with a bag or a wallet they travel at no extra cost, wherever I ship leather goods.

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.
