"Cogitations" Range / Collection Feminities 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”.

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.

Common questions

Do you ship internationally?

I ship worldwide. If your country is not listed, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222. With your complete details, I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

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.

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

My package is lost/I haven't received my order… what should I do?

Contact me as soon as possible via hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222.
