“L'heure du thé (noir)”  CO-090

A trapezoid crossbody bag made from a black, gray-blue, and silver “Alice in Wonderland” babywearing scarf, paired with hand-quilted black faux leather.

"Cogitations" Range / Collection Femininities A chic and fun version of the Caroll tale, in a practical and stylish crossbody bag.

Its story

Tales are an endless source of inspiration. Mokosh is one of my favorite babywearing scarf brands, not only for the quality of the fibers used but also for the level of pattern research, and in this regard, “Alice in Wonderland“ does not disappoint and surpasses interpretations by other brands.

With this very chic fabric featuring its subtle tones and silver glitter, I immediately wanted to pair it with a piece of velvety black faux leather, which I further machine-quilted myself. I obtained a glittery canvas scrap from a mystery pack from a supplier to complete the look, and that was it!

I was drawn to this Trapezoid crossbody bag pattern for its ability to showcase a figurative panel and the play of rings on the front. Once sewn, I liked its practical yet elegant lines, its compact yet spacious volume, and its interior compartments that help organize its content, all securely enclosed behind the zipper.

Pair it with the Zip Card Holder and Coin Purse “En Ville”.

Common questions

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

Can I place an order by phone?

You can contact me by phone at +33(0)661356222, and I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

Do I need to register to make purchases on the online store?

It's not necessary to have an account to place an order on this website.

What is the protective pouch included with the bags?

Every bag I create comes with a bespoke protective pouch, made by hand in my studio.

This isn't throwaway packaging — it's a permanent accessory, meant to be used every day to store your bag when you're not using it, protect it from scratches and dust, or keep it safe when travelling.

It's made in organic cotton satin, sewn to the exact dimensions of your piece, with an organic cotton drawstring to close it. It's branded Marie Alhomme.

For wallets, coin purses, and smaller accessories, I wrap the piece in tissue paper produced locally and sustainably (Papeteries de Montségur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

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.
