"Intuitions" Range / Theme Heritage Absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”, this Mary Poppins bag fully embraces the vintage theme with its retro-patterned wrap fabric in autumnal colors.

Its story

This Mary Poppins-style bag, with its metal frames, is absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”. It's from a pattern test for which I was also the official translator.

I made two versions, and this one is the smaller size, for which I wanted to fully embrace the vintage theme with this retro-patterned wrap fabric in autumnal colors, combined with a soft and eye-pleasing powdery pink interior with natural materials.

Near Perfect?

Like most test samples of a pattern, this bag has very minor flaws (a slightly visible thread of a different color on the inside edges, see the last photo), so it is offered at a slightly reduced price (instead of €367).

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 love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

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.

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'm working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, I'll update this page when it's ready.

How long does it take for a custom piece?

The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.
