"Cogitations" Range / Collection Memory A subtle tribute to France, beyond any partisan approach. A pouch that will accompany you everywhere, either in your bag or directly in your hand.

Its story

When I found this pattern, I initially thought of playing with the tricolor theme but decided to hold off and first test it in a “natural” version released in May 2024 (“Appel de la Forêt”).

This confirmed that I love this model, surprising with its functional but discreet volumes, which will accompany you in your hand or in your bag.

After the “Le Lys” Shoulder Bag to match it with, I took great pleasure in playing again with the blue-white-red assembly from babywearing wrap scraps from my adventures with my eldest, finding a super stylish lining, and adding small tricolor details... all intended as a subtle tribute to the colors of France, beyond any partisan approach.

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.

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).

Can I modify or cancel my order?

It's possible to modify or cancel an order within 6 hours of purchase. 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, I cannot cancel it. In that case, you will need to wait to receive it then withdraw within 14 days of delivery and send it back at your own expense. I will then refund you according to the terms outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

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).
