Its story

Another successful mystery sewing challenge (organised by Shamballa Bags)!
The exercise involves choosing your materials blind — knowing only the quantities needed, with no idea of their final placement on the bag, which itself remains a complete unknown: size, shape, features, all a surprise.

This time I was truly inspired: I had at least five or six combinations I loved, and choosing was genuinely difficult. In the end, a popular vote convinced me to go with this one — and I have absolutely no regrets.
The mix of textures and colours delivers something chic and fun: the bright yellow leather, smooth, matte and slightly rubbery; the white leather with its marked, glossy texture; the soft, matte black leather; and the gentle wrap fabric with its floral print...

The bag's distinctive shape doesn't compromise its practicality one bit: the size is generous without being bulky, there are three pockets plus an overall zip closure, and it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody.

Previous mystery sewing creations: the RosĂ©e - KawaĂŻ crossbody, the CheminĂ©e - Floraison Automnale shoulder bag, the Échiquier - Perruches handbag, the Podium - Scandinavia shoulder bag and the MosaĂŻque - Alchimie shoulder bag.

Near Perfect?

Born from a mystery sewing challenge, this bag has a few subtle cosmetic flaws — the result of not knowing in advance where I was going, and making a few choices I slightly regret.

Common questions

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.

Do you ship internationally?

I ship to France and outside the European Union. Other European Union countries are not served at the moment.
If your country is eligible but does not appear in the list, 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.

"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.

What are the payment methods and conditions?

Payment can be made in several ways:

  • Right away on the website, by credit card or PayPal: your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • In 4 installments with PayPal (on the website, subject to acceptance by PayPal): at no additional cost to you, and your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • Deferred payment by bank transfer (with direct contact according to your preferences): your order will only be shipped upon receipt of the full payment.

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.
