"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Vintage chic and oh so cute, this little silver and gold bag with floral patterns. Its compact and clever design will accompany you on all your outings.

Its story

Always ready to step in!
As a child, I adored Dr. Quinn—an independent, educated woman, generous yet conflicted. That’s why I’ve explored the “doctor bag” frame style several times (Été Indien,Sssspectaculaire,Éclosion (1),Éclosion (2),Éclosion (3)), often in colorful versions.

This time, though, I wanted something chic yet fun, classic yet bold. At a time when my spirits were low, its small size and playful format won me over.

I had bought these small upholstery scraps and leather pieces from fellow artisans during their studio clear-outs, and they naturally came to mind when I was looking for the right way to dress this little bag.

A “few” hours of tracing, cutting, assembling, and finishing later... the result matched the idea I had in mind, and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
How about 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.

Common questions

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."
This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.
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.

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.
What materials do you use to make my pieces?
Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:
  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc "leather")… No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
  • Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow… Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
