“Oiseau Suédois” N° CO-020

A flap clutch sewn in caramel leather, white damask, and vintage beige and gray patterned fabric, lined with taupe canvas.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Whimsy Romantic. The purity of materials, the sobriety of colors... add charm to this practical and chic small clutch.

Its story

This piece was crafted using an insert taken from the remnants of the cushions in my eldest son's bedroom when he was little, beautiful certified organic cotton satin, and a piece of lamb leather.

I don't use clutch bags myself, but this pattern with its harmonious proportions and beautiful curves inspired me to explore this path, especially since it allows me to repurpose relatively small fabric scraps while remaining entirely functional.

Common questions

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.

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.

How can I track my order?

You will receive an email upon shipment containing the tracking number and a link. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have questions.

Can I change my delivery address?

It is sometimes possible to change a delivery address as long as the order has not been shipped. To do so, please contact me as soon as possible via hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

Once your order has been shipped, it is no longer possible to make changes. In that case, you will need to contact the selected carrier as soon as possible (but with no guarantee of results).

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.
